Default good set-up??

Well I'm set on getting the "hot cam" even though its not the best cam out there, But I love the idle, price and the ease on the valve train. When I install the cam I'm also going to throw in a 3000 stall and 3.73 gears. Also a good dyno tune.. would this be a nice combo for a daily driver? About what should I set the idle at ( I still want a nice lope to it)

that's awesome. I've always like the way the "hot cam" sounds. Even though a lot of people bash it....its still a nice cam.. I'm going to have the cam installed first by SUX2BU and then the next weekend I'm going to have the converter, shift kit, trans cooler, 3.73 gears, longtube headers, ory pipe and a custom dyno tune done. so hopefully that will wake the car up some. but right now my stock 2.73 gears are killing me..

Get a stall, or you will just have a nice sounding idle....

yeah, I know a stall is a must but I'm not really sure what to go with....I'm torn between a 3000 stall and a 3200 stall with this cam. any ideas?
