You can swap a converter or a cam in about the same amount of time.

Do what you will man. It doesn't sound like you're looking for advice, it sounds like you've already made up your mind. Do what you will, but unless you already have the tools and have done at least a handful of cam swaps, I wouldn't bother with an ls1 cam.
I meant that a 224 or whatever size cam wouldn't run to it's potential without a stall, but a 200/210 gm cam would be okay. I'm not sure what my plan is yet. And installing a cam I already have available is cheap but for the most part a converter isn't. I might do a tb stall eventually though

I just picked up a nearly free TB converter. It is new in the box (GM Reman) that I will give a try. The price was right and way less than a Yank, Circle D, etc. If I don't like it, I'll put in a Circle D. Let you guys know how I like it once I get it installed. Also looking at a mild cam from LEP- LS Truck Cam specs 216/220, 561/564 lift. I think with the TB stall, should be perfect...at least I hope!!
