Default ASA cam vs stock converter

Right now I am in the midst of rebuilding my motor. New heads, full exhaust and intake. I want to go with the ASA cam. Do I have to replace my stock converter with this cam?

Yes, that cam has too much overlap.

I thought so, I just wanted a second opinion. Is there any cams out there that are for
LS1's that can use the stock? Im just asking, cause I know more about mustang set ups and I switched sides lol, so I am learning all new ground here!

In all honesty it would be better to spend the 4-500 on the very least an entry level converter and trans cooler and get the cam you actually want. Look to Yank, Circle D, FTI or PTC. All can get you fixed up.

My custom sleeper cam will work with the factory converter, but it will not have the lope normally associated with a cam. Feel free to call me with any questions. Chris, 817-750-2000
