Which Cam to get???
got an '02 SS and wantin to do a cam swap but will have to wait for heads later on
just wanna know what the biggest cam i can go with for my car,its an automatic, so whats the biggest before i will need a convertor???
i drive the car most of the time but i still want a lopey idle, i deffinatly want it noticable not just a lil bump
or what would be the best to go with if i had a stall??? what all supporting mods would i need???(tuning,injectors,plugs,etc....???)
still want drivability but good sound and performance at the same time
thanks

Same thing that everybody with an auto is told: Get a converter first.
For supporting mods it is recommended to get subframe connectors (SFC), converter, shift kit, trans cooler, trans temp gauge, lid, full exhaust (headers, preferably longtubes or at least mac mids and either a y-pipe and cat-back or duals), and drag radials first.
If you get all those things you will have a good base upon which to add a cam. A few suspension mods wouldn't hurt either. Lower control arms (LCA's), torque arm (TA), and/or a panhard rod.
