money question well i finally graduated and i got ~$1400 to spend. i was thinking about a stall, and either a cam and new valvetrain setup or nitrous. im thinking a stall for sure to wake up the automatic. my question is, with 3.73s, what would be a good stall for a basically stock car, or a car with a cam or nitrous?
and, would you rather go cam and valvetrain or nitrous? the motor has a little over 108k, so im not sure if nitrous is the most practical way to go.
thanks for opinions, etc.

cam and new valvetrain setup for nitrous is the way to go with your motor. If you can do all the work you can. Find a good shop that can help you with the cam install or try it yourself if you have the tools. Most high mileage LT1's can handle a good amount of Nitrous.

You're definitely gonna want to match the cam to the stall and vice versa, since they need to compliment each other. Call cam motion or even comp and talk to them about what they reccommend. I personally would reccommend cam motion or futral motorsports which will have cam motion make the cam anyways. Decide what cam you want for your application and then find a stall that compliments it. And in case you didn't get it, my vote is for cam/valvetrain over nitrous. Filling that bottle gets expensive quick, and when you don't have it, you will feel naked. Cam is always there, just do it right the first time.

Call Futral and tell them what your plans are for the car and they'll make a custom grind for you. Should run around $300. They'll also tell you the best upgrades to support it.
