you probably need to look into a stall first, then maybe MS3.

Definately look to a converter before picking your camshaft. We've had really good luck with 228R camshafts for guys wanting awesome power with great driveability. That being said something like a Torquer 3 will make considerable more power than the 228r camshaft even as low as 3000 rpm!!
