What if you see how you like it after your swap is complete?Since your switching to a lighter vehicle you might feel just fine where it's at,or you can say screw it and go bigger.I often want to get a bigger cam,but then I wonder if it's worth it considering I spent money on a cam already and there are a ton of other mod's out there that would probably help the "need for speed" most of us seem to have!

Not my cam of choice but if it moved the truck, it will for sure move the camaro..... You are shedding about 1000lbs+, so on the azz dyno, it should fly like a bat out of hell...... and do just fine.... cam swaps and going bigger, then their will be compromises.....

Leave the cam alone. If anything I would get another converter that would be spec'd for the weight of the car compared to the truck. If you gear and converter it for the car it will run damn good.
