3.73's seem to be the best for an automatic.

No cam should stall with a proper tune.

Match a cam and stall speed together. I would leave the rear end alone. Unless you are going to put in a 12 bolt. You are going to want a good tune to not have driveability issues or idle problems like was said before.
