408 guys come in...cam question

I know...not another one. I don't know alot about strokers, but is this a decent sized cam for a 408 stroker 240/244 .608/.596 112+4? Too big or too small? (2002 Camaro SS A4 with 3200 stall and AFR 205s 62cc chambers)

If too small what would you recommend

If too big what would you recommend

That is a pretty large cam, but you could go bigger in a 408.

The TSP Giant is larger.

But you have to remember bigger isn't always better.

i think that cam should be a great performer. that cam along with those heads should produce great midrange so that stall should work well imo.

How do you like it? Daily drivability? Idle quality? Powerband?
