Stall if you can, but you can run stocker if you need too. Keep in mind that and aftermarket stall is also lighter and smaller.

Like someone else said, if I could go back id do the stall first on my gto, before the cam.

Ok, another thought came to mind last night. Im looking at putting this cam in sometime in the next week, may have some money comming my way soon to afford a converter, but the next question... What kind of tuning am I looking at for the cam only on a stock converter. As my sig states, I have a Diablo handheld that I can get some tuning in with, but not sure what kind of changes I will have to look at to get this cam in a decent place until I can get the converter and then get a dyno tune. I am looking at also running the car at the track this weekend na without the cam to see where its at on numbers so I can also have a starting point as I build into it more to judge the gains and losses, so just want any other advice from the diablo tuners out there also on anythign else I need to look into. I havent changed much fron the diablo tune other than some minor changes, ie rpm limits, rpm shift points, and shift firmness. Any other options I should look into before I run this weekend? Thanks again guys for the input.

I dont know how well a handheld will really. I sent my PCM to Frost and he did a fantastic job for me.
