Most of the problems you see with TQ management are on 01 and 02 cars. Very few 98-2000 cars have issues with it.

I am looking at the tci ssf 3500 also for my car. I was looking on the tci website and I am wondering if I have to upgrade my camshaft and if not how does the car run.

No you do not have to upgrade the camshaft at all. The stall is very streetable. Go to the Texas Speed and Performance website i think they have the TCI converter at a good price. BTW there is guys running a 4200 stall on a stock camshaft. Goodluck
