. Modifying is crack, once you start you'll never stop. Good choice on the parts should make good numbers.

You beat me to it, Damn!
Seriously though you will dyno higher w/ that monster converter(Not!) Than you would w/ a converter matched to that cam (3600-4000). If that converter is new send it back and get a real converter or you'll regret it. The 3600-4000 converter will flash closer to the torque curve on that cam, Which by the way I had. That cam is awesome but your converter is way too small.
Hope this helps!

Do what you want but I'll bet you end up buying a different converter later on.
