I would suggest our 4C for that application. It is rated a 3600-3800 stall. The Stage I billet option should be perfect for you. It will love the shoot of Juice!

I also would recommend the Circle D 4C. It feels great on the street and gets the job done at the track as well.

We have the 4C and love it. We are NA with all the bolt-ons, but the 4C will compliment the cam you have.

A 4000 would work good as well but drive a little looser!!

Most of the popular $700-ish converters are strong as ox's and will all serve you right. Just dont go cheap. For technical purposes I can tell you that my +4C is built like a fortress. Weighed just around 32 pounds on my scale if I remember right, comes with new bolts, loctite and has an imposing billet front cover with strong mounting tabs, not a cheap welded on adapter like the budget converters.

I will say from experience that Circle D has amazing customer service. From ordering, to assistance afterward they are 110% top notch.
