Default Need cam recommendation

I've made several changes to the car since MMS built this engine for me a year and a half ago. I've changed from 3:73 to 4:10's. I've installed a direct port nitrous. I'm swapping out the TTS headers for the Grot 1 7/8's. I am swapping out the M6 in favor of a TH350. I'm considering somewhere between a 4k and 4.4k stall converter. The car weighs around 3600lbs. My primary focus is drag racing but I do drive it on the street 4 or 5 times a month. My current cam is in the sig. I would appreciate any recommendations.

TIA
-Allen

Well, if your cars going to be seeing N2O use, I'd think you'd want to look at a nice split duration cam. Azzkicker was running one and he was running damn good with it on stock heads even.

My one concern is that the converter may be too loose for N2O use. A 4000 or 4400 stall is going to flash real high and with N2O use, it will practically be useless.
