Any reason you don't want to change the stall?

It will be the same price or cheaper if you do the labor yourself, and you will have more of a gain.

Time, money and pain. I am just looking to make some nice power and have a choppy idle to it. Nothing crazy, Not looking to set any records

I dont understand your comparison, I am not looking to one or the other. I am putting in a cam but keeping my stock converter.

So you are running 11.9 with you setup? I am just going to do that exact setup.

I have a '99 SS. I am ordering pacesetter LT's soon with a TSP true dual kit.

Who sells the yank ss3600 converter?

the mail order tune will be good? It says it is just to get your car driveable to break it in..

It's a pretty mild cam, should work great in your situation, don't be disappointed if the idle is almost as smooth as stock.

If you're not going to put a stall in your car, this is probably the biggest cam that you can run.

Yea, that what i heard. I am undecided. it might just be better to hold off till i buy a converter. Is that cam noticable at idle or will it sound stock ?

Well what are you looking to gain from the cam? Are you just wanting the choppy sound? The cam you stated is not going to have a very noticeable loop to it. Granted i guess it all depends on your tuner as well.

But if you ever did plan on doing a converter down the road, why not just hold out till then and get a cam that will work great with whatever stall you want.

But i know its hard to just sit and wait hehe, im horrible at doing it myself.

It may be slightly noticeable, but nothing too choppy. If you're going to go with a stall later on, hold out for a bigger cam.

^i think it would be alot more than 5hp, its not much more lift but 8*/8* would see at least 9-10HP and even more on a 90/90 setup.... maybe 5HP through ls6/ 12 bolt?
