Default got a converter question with my set up

Im putting a cam in my car as of now. I got a vig. 3200 in it now. The cam im putting in is: 234/242--.575/.595w/1.6 rockers--112LSA Im contiplating on sending my converter back in to restall it to a 3600 or 4k. You think it would be worth the time restalling it or keep the 3200? Ill also be spraying the car with a 150wet so i know that flashes the converter highter also. My rear is set up with 3.73's and a 28'' MT radial.

I would try it as is 1st. Then make changes. I was always told to only make 1 change at a time. Good luck.

Yeah, pretty much. Put it all together and see how it does.

A converter will stall higher with more power, plus you might need the tighter stall for the nitrous.

I would keep the tighter converter in it and spray away

Agreed. You want that tight converter for spray.
