A 3500 should be enough for that cam. When you put your foot down you will want a big stall, and having a higher stall won't limit you from going with a bigger cam down the road either. What brand are you looking at? What price range? Economically speaking you could get a TCI SSF3500-4000, nothing wrong with vig (remember they stall higher than their name/rating implies) and Yank has some great converters. (too bad their customer service seems to be lacking) If you have money to spend look into a Yank SS4000.
Remember the rule of thumb for converters: go one size larger than what you think you want. If you think a 3500 is doable, get a 4,000. Trust me, I didn't follow that rule and ended up restalling from 3500 to 4000. Most of why I did that was to accomodate my cam, which was larger than I had previously planned on going, but now that I have big cam big stall I'm happy.

I've got a TCI SSF 3500 and since the cam install I am really wishing that I would have gone 3800-4000. So it looks like a restall for me in the near future if my A4 to M6 hopes fall through.

Yank SS 4000 for sure (if you get that cam). SS 3600 if you keep running the stock cam.

Yank SS4000. 
i have a 224/224 567/567 on 112 cam (which is close to yours) and i left the converter up to my tuner and said to go with a vig 3200 because with bolt on it will be like a 3400 stall and when you get the cam the new hp with raise the stall up to like a 3800 which would put it right in the powerband where it needs to be. i now it contradicts what most people will say, but it makes sense. just my .02

Less hp would make it stall lower, more hp would make it stall higher. a 3200 stall would be a 2800 or so on a stock car, 3200 with boltons and perhaps headers. Would not expect 3800 by any stretch of the imagination. If you're pulling enough power by his logic to make a 3200 stall that high, you're about to bust that T/C.

LT1 camaros and LS1 camaros have the same tranny, vastly different hp.
Also i believe larger cams have a slower idle than stock? I'm almost sure they do, in which case a stock stall would most likely, technically be perfectly serviceable.
