Cam and Converter Ok I'm going to be setting up a project within this year. I have a 99 TA with an automatic. I already have the loudmouth and will install a new hood, long tube headers, 12bolt rearend with 3.73s. ATI Procharger, changin engine to a 382, stage 2 heads and cam package, carbon fiber driveshaft, boxed subframe connectors, BMR extreme rear sway bar, adjustable pan hard rod, lower control arms, BMR extreme torque arm, and torque converter with tranny cooler. Now my question is, for this setup, what kind of cam and convertor should I use? I'm looking to go all out!

Re: Cam and Converter Converter would be a pro yank extreme 3600 and cam will that is up to you.Just make sure it is on a 116 lsa as it will hold boost in the cylinders longer.I saw in a pontiac high tech where a super charged ta picked up I beleive 7tenths with just that convertyer swap and it wasnt the best of weather outside either.

Re: Cam and Converter Alonzo is right on with his recommendations. Converter, Pro Yank 3600 Extreme (should stall a little higher in a stroked blower motor). Cam, 230/236, 114 LSA with as much lift as you can live with. No need to get too silly with the duration as the blower will do most of the intake packing.
