That cam will gain you about 15, maybe 20 hp, but it will all be above 4,000 RPMs. And I believe your rev limiter can be raised 400 RPMs as well. All of your gains will not be in the usable area. Just what I've been told before about that one.

As for the stall, I think it sounds good. Depending on your gears, it may make it hard to get traction even with drag radials. I think you should also invest in a Transgo Shift Kit; it'll firm up your shifts, prolong the life of your tranny, and take some of the loose feeling out the stall while driving around.
