I would shoot us an email over and speak with Martin Smallwood. He knows everything you need to know about cam setups and can steer you in the right direction. Just send over an email to support@tickperformance.com and Martin will answer any question you have.

I'm not doing anything to the TC since I want to go the way of the 4l80 or maybe a T56, but just don't have the money for all that now.
It's doesn't need to be a huge cam, I just want something that will give me some good power on the streets with the stock TC and a dirty sloppy chop
Yes it's a LQ9, I don't want a LQ4. The LS1 is long gone. I have a LQ9 in there now, that mysteriously locked up for some reason.

Again need more info..stall speed is only a small part of the equation. Stall speed, stall torque ratio(str), size(9.5, 10, 12"), anti ballooning plates, billet front cover, are all important things that need to be considered.
Generally speaking, a 3600 stall speed is good for a LS1 if that is what you want to know.

exactl a 3600 stall is generally a good stall speedd for an ls motor. however you can have a really shitty 3600 or an awesome one. without knowing the brand or specific specs on the stall its hard to say. str rate( torqure multiplication) stator, balloon plate, billet cover all effect strength, driveability, and most importantly efficiency. a good stall should never cost you mph at the track perhaps even increase it. but cheap ineffiicient ones will drop your mph
