Did I go too big?

Did I go too big?
I am about to have a comp cam grind LS1speed 224/228 .581 114LSA cam put into my car with stock heads. I have 3:73 gears with a Yank 2800 stall converter and will be shooting a TNT 150 wet shot at the track. Is my converter too small for this cam? I am not willing to pay the extra money to go in an replace it since I really like how tight it is on the street and I can cut 1.8 on DR with it and think it is a good all-around converter. What do you think? Do I need to get another cam?
Thanks for the help

Doesn't Yank offer one free restall???

That cam will make more torque than the stocker at your stall speed.
You didn't go too big.
You didn't go too big.
Your cam will make more power at every point at and above your stall speed.
Read it again.
I will not change the TC.

19" wheels + 150 shot = Your tires saying

Again thanks for all or the input guys! I get the feeling this cam swap may not be the best way to spend my money if my converter is not large enough to keep up with a larger than stock cam.

Do you think that fits my needs and application a little better?

Either cam will be fine! Either one will be faster than what you ahve now and make more power at stall speed and above....
I would have went with the 224/228, but either way is gonna be better than stock....
I just went 231/237 with my auto.....hopefully it is going to work well
