your gonna need a stall to and for a cam from tsp i would go with the 228 0r the torquer v 2 with your setup. A 3600 stall would go very nicely with both of these cams and the 3.73's. very good streetable setup

First do you have LT headers, or stock manifolds?

as said above, the 228r is an awesome daily drive-able cam with nice power gains. The truth is you could go bigger with a cam like the MS3 and be completely fine. So the choice would be up to you depending on your goals.

If it were me - I would go with the Texas Speed 233/239 .595"/.603" Camshaft @ 113 LSA. This cam would give you an aggressive idle - great power throughout the whole rpm band and the street manners would be great with a nice tune.

What are your overall goals?

IMO, Anywhere from a 224/228 - 228/232 would be a good choice, but you'll need a higher stall TC(3200-3600); FIRST !
