What do you think about a cam before stall?

For people who say that you can't do a cam before a converter or it'll drive like ****, what size cam did you install? Did you have it tuned? If you install an MS3 with no stall and run it untuned... of course it'll drive like ****. A little 220ish cam with the proper tune should drive fine. The truck guys do cam swaps with stock converters quite a bit, dunno why it is so problematic for F-bodies...

As stated in my post, it was a 230/224 which TR advertised as a 224 with some extra top end kick.
220/220 or under might be ok, but I wouldn't go any bigger at all, and IMO a cam that small isn't worth doing to me since it's the same price as a good mid size cam

And those thick headed fools that have had their "car run like ****" sound like they weren't happy and are not reccomending it. (so again..those "fools" are the ones I want to hear from) I will wait without a doubt now, but had to hear reasoning. Just had the money on hand thats all....
either way...now I get my nittos and 3600 now instead of later.

If you run people redlight to redlight, get a stall. A stall alone gave me 5 tenths in bone stock car.
If you want the power on the highway, or running people from a roll, get a cam, that's where a cam will pay off more.
A stall will wake your car up like you won't believe. In a stock car, my vig 3600 will break the tires loose in a 2-1 downshift floored.

Years ago I ran an MTI T1 (221/221 on 112 LSA) for several months before I got a stall. It ran ok, and I didn't have any braking issues. It was tuned after the cam install as well.
The only way to tell it had a cam was the lope, cuz it didn't run any faster. It would bog often off idle during WOT punches.
It can be done, don't expect it to be faster w/out the stall.
