Default cam/converter matchup helppp

A buddy of mine has a cam and it will not work on the setup he is planning on going with so he is going to sell it to me. Its a .595/.601 lsa-112 and i was wondering which size converter i should go with. i was thinking the ss3600?! any suggestions? Also does anyone know what this cam is setup for or at leats a good guess as far as more low end, middle or high end?? my buddy wasnt really sure and I cant find the cam on Comp's website when i look up the part number

3500+, ss3600 or ss3800 are a great choice. ss3800 would be my choice.

If your keeping the 3.42 gears you probably would want to go with a 3400 or 3600 stall if its a daily driven car. I would go with either a yank or a vigilante. If you need pricing let me know and I'll be glad to help.

Thanks!!

Well, the plans that I have for it this summer require me to go to a 3.23 or 3.08 gear ratio....something low. I will most likely be going with Yank, I have connections through them and can pick up a new one cheap.
