It'll depend on how big of cam your looking at. I wouldn't go smaller than a 3200 even without a cam. PI 3200, TCI 3500, Yank SS 3600 would all be good converters. If your going to run a radical cam you'll want to go bigger. These converters vary in price Yank most expensive, PI, then TCI. I'm not going to get into which one is better, they all have trade offs.

The above suggested choices are fine for your goals; especially if you are running street tires.
