Default cam time

I am ready to purchase a cam, but I am going to also be getting a stall converter with it. I am running the stock rearend right now, and I have 3.42 gears, but haven't installed them yet. I plan on getting a stronger rearend probably in another four to five months. I just don't want to get a moser or anything right now because I know I would just end up getting a 4000+ stall and a TREX cam . I need to keep the car SOMEWHAT driveable(my wife does drive it a few miles to work). So what would be a good combo? I prefer a nice, lopey cam and a 3500 stall, but I'm hoping my street tires can hold up. I won't be going to the track at least until I get the rearend put on, so I'm not gonna be abusing anything(not too much, anyway).
Any suggestions?

No matter what cam you put in you will need a good tune to get the best performance and drivability . You can use the search feature and look at tons of post on cams. a good starting point would be 224/224
