Stall before cam. I'd get a mail order tune from Frost! He does great work and you will love the way the car feels after the tune and stall. Just better get some dr's. What gears do you have now? 3.73's and a 4k stall are very fun. Any more mod plans? Cam, ect.....?

I think Frost tunes run around 150. DR's are drag radials. And, you can never go wrong with a 3600-4000 stall.

i realized that right after i asked lol, i figured a 4k would be great because i could still do 25-30 rolls easily

You need a tune and tires or the stall is wasted effort.
