Default Help with cam specs

I called a buddy of mine that owns a shop and specs custom cams out. He said he's never done a cam only Tbss. (usually FI and or bigger CI).

Im pretty much just bolt ons and have the 1 7/8 size kooks. What kind of power would I be looking at?

Theres a lot more that goes into how a cam performs than just the duration and LSA, but a cam with duration like that generally makes pretty good power. I'd say you could get away with a 3200 converter, but it would probably love a 3600.
