auto with 4k stall, what cam?
had vindicator and ms3 ... but the 230/230 el toro (xfi/xer lobes) cam was my fave so far
rode in a 4000 stall (vigilante) car with an ms4 and it pulled hard ... thinking really good tune though

Stall always comes first, if you go to big of a cam in an auto it will be nearly impossible to drive without a stall to get in the powerband.
Anyways, I'm going with Thunder Racing's TRAK cam, just slightly smaller than the T-Rex and MS3 but seems to match my mods perfectly with no flycutting.
Torquer V3 gets my vote. I think of it as the mini me version of the ms4. Both have high lift on the intake side and both are on a 111lsa standard. You'll have great drive-ability with it, and you won't have to spin it to the moon.
Thats another thing I dont want to blow my engine by spinning it to super high rpms. All of these cams you guys have listed, I take it no one fly cut?

Right, but why suggest cams that he can't get to the crest of the power? Even with a big converter, midrange can still feel mushy with a bigger cam. You CAN run a 4k converter with a 224 cam, and it will be an awesome stoplight runner I know because I've done it.
I know because I've done it. 
All he needs are rod bolts. **** I have spun my motor with stock rod bolts to 6700 rpm. I have a custom 230/228 .603/.589 110 lsa cam from predatorz. Cam only 11.6 full weight @116mph 3000 da.4k stall. I am switching to a trex cam from thunder racing with 243 heads with the katech rod bolts
I understand I'm still running the stock trans which is running good right now and will eventually need to be replaced but for the rod bolts will it be a huge deal, or just go with a smaller cam?
i wouldn't worry about the rod bolts. i think being an automagic you'll stand a much better chance of NOT over-revving the engine. i think a 4k stall works good with the g5x3. a friend ran that combo and it worked very well for him. but ultimately i think a 4k stall works good w/ any cam at or under ~18* overlap.
I currently have an MS3 w/4000 stall and 3:73s. Pulls very hard everywhere.
I have also had the F13. It didn't pull as hard up top for me, but was a monster down low and had superb midrange and superb throttle response.
I would get a custom grind on eps or lsl lobes. just my thoughts though
