Default Love my new...

Like the title stated, I love my new cam swap. I like the increased power it gave me but I lost bottom end, or the trailblazer stall just sucks and my damn converter won't flash as high or foot brake as high. So I wanted opinions as to what converter to run with my new set up, I was thinking a 3k or 2800 would do the trick. I just wanted to see what your all running with this cam or similar cams. all mods in sig thanks Chris

I was told that a lot of timing down low is key. I rode in Zippy's 6.0 with tr224 and stock stall and that thing had no lack of low end, ill tell you that. He said he spent a long time on the tune.

Yeah the tuner had alot of timing all over at first, but at crusing speeds light throttle/normal driving I was experiencing pinging/knock so he drop timing and it really helped alot.
