What gear ratio are you running with those 37's? You'll need alot of gear for those, and a small cam like the one you asked about with a TB converter would help too.

The best recommendation I can make is telling you to call Yank & talk to Dave for a few minutes, and call Circle-D & talk to Chris for a few minutes. You'll have all the information you need at that point.

I just put a TSP220 112lsa cam in my truck last week and was expecting to lose a lot down low with the stock converter till my circle d 3200 shows up but it still has a lot down low and puts u back really well once the rpms get up. I am on 36" Iroks right now.
The cam ur looking at would work really well too, I thought about getting it but got a good deal on this one.

I have the same cam. I know what ya mean the tsp220 isn't too bad on the stock converter, but it does have some "dead spots" at certain rpm's/gears which is to be expected. Once you get the circleD it will take care of that problem. You are gonna be happy when you get the converter lol.

You're also running 5.38 gears.

The 112 LSA helps move the powerband back down just a bit.
