I was told by a local trans mechanic that a 2200/2500 stall was to much for the items I had listed in my signature and the CompuCam 2032 cam I installed. Here are the cam specs, what do you guys think?

Duration @ .050 - 214/220
Lobe Seperation - 112

You should look at a 2500-2800 vigilante. I had a local tranny guy swear up and down that all IROCs came with a 2500 stall from the factory, he couldn't figure why I would waste my time going from stock to a 2700 vigilante !

I'd look into more stall if i where you. I'd say 2800 is a good number. Especially if you plan on keeping those 3.27s. A good stall will help get you out of the hole.
Remember that with a nice converter like P.I., Yank, Pro Torque, etc. they make converters with higher stalls that are still "tight". Allowing you to go more radical and still be very docile on the street. The cheaper models like TCI, B&M, SLP, offer the stall speeds but will be looser and not as streetable at high stall.
I myself just ordered a 3200 stall for my car. I thought it would be too high but with my 3.27 and that it's a Yank, i'll be fine. Plus it's what they recommended for my car, and they know better than me.

That sounds like it would work good and be a good compromise on the street. Just make sure that it is a QUALITY converter, such as Continental.
