With that cam a 3600 would be perfect.
But i will tell you, after awhile you will wish you went with a bigger stall. You can easily daily drive a 4000 stall.
I had a vigilante 3200.. I swapped it for a circle D 5c converter... it drives just as civil but pulls like a monster..

kind of off topic, but that car must suck to drive with that cam and no tune with the stock converter.

228/232 .612/.600 111 Lsa. A 3200 would work fine but like the other guy said, you'll end up wanting more. I like my 3600 but could easy go with a 4000+ and would love it.

You'll get different responses from everyone here asking what converter to go with, but I would go with either a yank ss4000 (I have the ss3600 currently) or FTI 4000 Hit Hard personally. I have heard great things about PTC, Vigilante, and Circle D as well. Either way you cant go wrong with any quality converter.
Also, you will need to run a decent sized transmission cooler. The higher stall converter will heat the fluid up fast so you need to keep temps in check.
