3600 Stall And Stock Cam And Gears?

I have a 3600 stall vigilante i want to install. The only mods now are long tubes off road Y pipe and hooker cat back and a cold air induction. Im gonna do a cam and ported heads this winter. I wnt to put the converter in for another two months of cruising the T/A before i put it away for the winter and start my project. It has 3.27 gears. Will this be too much?

IMO you'll be wasting a lot of power that sits down low. 2,800 is best for a stock motor LT1.

Agreed.

I ran a 3600 in my car with the stock cam and 3.73s, and it was a total slug down low. Adding the cam and 3.89 gears helped a little bit though...
