With that low of a convertor you're going to limit your choices. Id say go with a stock ls6 cam

I'm running a 224r cam with my 2800 converter and 3.73 gears. Very happy with the performance and manners of the package.

228 tsp cam with my 2800 stall does great with my 3.42's and 26 mph highway..now the 2.73's with the stall and cam ........... just horrible

Same here TSP 228r with a custom 2800 stall and 3.73's work great together.

I would recomend the 224r also. I have a 3400 stall and plan on going with the 228r wich is just slightly bigger than the 224r

2800 should be fine, you don't need a big stally, unless you plan on drag racing it a lot, plenty of guys here running 2800 stalls with small cams right through to 23x/23x cams and no problems, some running 3000 stalls with forced induction, most cams under a 224 people don't run a stally or if they do just a 2800-3000, a good street size.

i know some run 4000-5000 but there mainly track cars or cams in the 24x ranges.

running a 2800 stall with a a 230's cam is just stupid. Just because plenty of people do it doesn't make it right. The whole point of putting a cam in is to make the car faster and more fun. A 2800 stall and a 23x's cam is not going to match at all. With that stall a 224r would match much better, run better, give you better times, and make you happier The very highest I would go would be a 228 with that stall. And remember bigger cams like 230's usually need 6600 rpm shift points for full potential wich our auto's do not like.

I will admit, my TR224/3200 was a very DD friendly type setup. It was not near as aggressive as I realized i wanted because I was still getting beat when I raced. Turned out I did not get the combo for what was right for me. But for someone who that combo IS right, well it has its place in the pecking order. It is a hell of a lot better then stock.

Fare enough, I understand your point there about matching them up to the cam, etc.

I agree, our VB cam would be a good choice with that converter and it only has 1* of overlap.
