What????????????????????????????????? Adding a stall is going to help take advantage of where the cam makes power. Without adding a proper stall for the car, it will prolly be a serious dog off the line.

This thread went to hell in a hand basket in a hurry. Like SmokedOutZ28 said...absolutly need a stall? NO. Would it help get the most out of your setup? YES.
After my cam swap, I ran a 13.1 @106 with my stock converter. I installed a 3500stall TCI converter and the next week ran a 12.4 @ 108 with no other mods than the stall added. Same track and weather as well. Just to give you an idea of how a stall converter helped me.

Yeah you'll want a converter for sure with a cam, check with the manufacturer for their recommended stall speed, then give one of the sponsers a call and see what they can do for you.
