Duration under 220, or in the 220s if you have a good tuner.

Comp 212/218
Comp 216/220
TR "Old Man" 215/220

RagTop Cam 210/222:

A stall will net you better results than just a cam, unless you just want it for the sound.

I am using a Futral F10 Cam and still on the stock transmission with 114K miles. The F10 is an excellent choice and daily drives like stock with proper tuning.

I still have to take it to the dyno and the prior dyno was 322 rwhp. I have tuned the PCM at the local dragstrip using HP Tuners. With equal 60 ft's before/after the cam (1.67-1.70), my ET dropped for 12.67 seconds to 12.08 seconds. The QTP headers and Yank SS4000 were installed prior to the cam. Seems like a nice bump in power and the shift points are set to 6600 rpm's. Also, along with the cam I installed the LS6 Intake.

That may be a little big for the stock converter though.

Are you dead set on keeping the stock converter? Gears and Converter would be the best first mods.
