Default More cam help

So by summer, my car will be full boltons, and I already have a built Trans. I'm trying to decide on what size stall to get, either a 3800 or 4000. Based on those two options, what size cams would you recommend? I'm looking at PRC stage 2.5 heads, or the TFS 220s, depending on my funds. I don't want a giant donkey dick cam, so I was looking into cams like the VRX5 and smaller. Would that work with a stall that size? The trans is built to handle 600+rwhp, and I'll be spraying 100-150 shot. What are some suggestions, either off the shelf or custom? I need this to inform my trans guy because he will build my stall according to how much spray and what size cam. Thanks

if you really planning on spray get the smaller stall 3600-3800 most people seem to go really loose. Then have to restall or replace later on due to blow through on the spray. I have a 3700 and will find out how it does in about a month

I would say the 3800 would be plenty if not to much....I would go with the TFS heads (TFS-3060T001-C01) and there cam (TFS-30602003) it has 228/230 .585/.585. with that setup, depending on your other bolt-ons you should get around 515+.......Add your 100-150 shot and you can get 600+ pretty easy. Hope that helps

A 3500 should work fine for that set-up.
