stall size for v2 2000 A4 trans Am what would be a good stall size with this particular cam. Torquer v2, I want my car setup for the 8th mile. I will also have pacesetter longtubes with true duals,slp lid, fast 90/90, Should i do 3:73 to take some stress off of trans. i will also be running drag radials. Hoping for high 11's.

If you're shooting for 11's in the 1/4, this should put you in the 7.50ish range for the 1/8th. It all comes down to how much stall speed you're willing to put up with. A 4400 would work GREAT, but you have to know what you're getting into to want to daily drive that big of a stall. I did it in my '02 SS with no problems. 3.73's will definitely complement the setup and give you another 400 RPM on the shift extensions vs. 3.23's. It won't help much at all with your 60' times since the converter really does 99% of the work, but they will help to keep your engine higher up in the powerband. To give you an example, I was running a Vigilante torque converter in my '02 SS that would flash 3800 RPM. I went from 3.23's to 3.73's, and my 60' times went from a 1.68 to a 1.66. They weren't beneficial in the 60', but my shift extensions did jump up to 5,000 RPM from 4,600 RPM. If you want to get crazy with gearing, you could step up a LOT more over 3.73's for the 1/8th! But, I assume you want to keep it streetable. 
Besides that, it'll just be a greater risk of breaking the 10-bolt with super-steep gearing.Trevor

A 3800 or 4000 would work well. You're not going to see much performance difference when you're looking at converters that only vary 200 RPM in stall speed. You're talking a few hundredths between the two.
