If you get a cam you'll need to get a TC (belive me I know), If I were you I'd buy an agressive cam package and a 3200-3600rpm TC, then get the car profesianly dyno-tunned and your good to go.

I just had a 3500 stall torque converter put in, and all i can say is "DAMN" . A cam will be good, but besides the headers and stuff, you need to have everything covered before going with a cam. make sure you ditch the 2.73's for maybe some 3.42's or 3.73's. Hell, i got 4.10's and love 'em i'm just now getting a cam put in, and i've been modding the car for about 2 years now.
