I consider looking into getting a higher stall TC before getting a cam. The stall size will be somewhat depend on the cam size. What rpm range do you want the most power in, do you want a smooth or lumpy ide?

Gm asa cam? It has a low lift so your valvesprings will last forever if you get a good set...or if you want to go bigger than that maybe a 228/234 <.600 lift (for valvespring life) and a 110-111 lsa with a 3, 600 stall

3600 stall, 228r is a good daily driver combo that has been done many times before so you can search different setups and see if that's what you are looking for.

Well two things to remember...a larger cam will behave a little better in that LQ9 compared to a LS1, and a great tune will make a huge difference as well! I am about to do a LQ9 myself here, but i'll be running my PRC 5.3 heads on a 6-speed with 4.10's, but am getting a cam in the mid 240's duration...not worried about low end power issues or drivability. Do you know what your compression is at? That makes a difference as well
