Question cam or stall????

dont know if this is the right section to post this so if its wrong please move.
ok guys what would you do. i have the mods in my sig and im wanting a little more. i can get a cam kit for 1250 installed with prc springs,comp push rods,titanium locks and seats and the compleate install. the cam would be small. some thing with just a little lump to it but some thing that dont hurt driveability. or some thing like a 3000-3500 stall. dont know how much it will cost to have it installed but i figure 500 to 700 for the stall plus the install. what would you guys do? the car pulls 1.9 60ft's and seem to launch strong and i feel like i need more power so i dont know what to do. i know your suposed to match the stall to your cam so im thinking the cam first.

I'd go with the stall first. If you dont have a stall now then it should really help lower your et. Not saying that a cam wont, but if your just going with a small cam then i would def go stall. Just my opinion though.

I would stall it first. I don't think the stock stall would like the cam too much

Stall first for sure! You will fall in love with it, and immediately want to add a cam haha. My advice would be to save up and do both at the same time

I say stall first as well. Your car will be totally different.
If you choose wisely you could drop 1/2 second or so off your et.

Best would be Stall, Cam, and gears - car would haul!

A Yank SS4000 will make a bigger difference than a cam. Don't forget the tranny cooler.

Stall first, but if you go too high and not really match with your gears, you will be too far out of your power band and the stall will do you no good. Like the other guy said, it's best to do them at the same time. If you take time and research you will find the right combo to get your numbers.
