You should really match the stall to the cam you have. I love how folks just throw things together and hope for the best....sure it will work but it won't be optimal.
If you decide to put the stall in first, have in mind what cam you are going to go with in the (hopefully near) future and buy a stall that will match that cam.
I would either save up and do both at the same time or do the cam first, then you can match the stall to the cam you already have in when it's time to do the TC.
Think about your setup....you'll spend less money in the end if you have a clear picture of what you want and stick to it. Just throwing this and that on to increase performance is a good way to spend more money on mods down the road that compliment each other.
You can throw on this and that now and have some decent gains or you can do it right the first time and see much more. Take it from someone who learned long ago after buying things because it worked well on someone else's car when they had the heads to go with the cam or the cam to go with the stall....and I didn't.

I have a 3200 Vigi in my 93, flashes at like 3400. I daily drove it for a year in Houston traffic, you can move away from traffic and never break 2500rpms if you wanted to. Once you get going its just like stock, how ever because of the stall speed, it doesnt want to move as much at idle, so you have to give just a hair more gas. Other wise not much different, doesnt rev to 3200 to get going thats a prety big myth. Just barley more than stock, its a bad *** mod, street raidals will hate you
