I'm not sure what to expect for power, but I think it should make 450ish even with the Yank converter. We'll see very soon.

In my opinion, this cam is much too large for a car with the factory converter. Most people run our stage 1 cams with the stock converter.

Auto or manual trans?

If you want a cam with some lope, I would recommend our stage 1 L92 cam. If you want it more stealthy, I would recommend our stage 1C L92 cam.

They can be found here

It had a pretty loose high stall converter, but it made 417 RWHP / 377 RWTQ

You will have to install a DOD Delete kit, but any of our L92 cams would work great in your in the LS4.
