I would go with something around 3k stall. Your cam isnt all that large, but you'll benefit at the track with the 3.73's from a little more stall than 2200. If you wanna daily drive it though, I would say 3k-3200. If you plan on adding any nitrous later on that tends to flash the converter a little higher. Also depends on the quality of the converter, and whether its loose or tight or right where you want it. Manufacturer-wsie I would say stick with yank or vigilante. Ive got a continental race converter and its a little loose but works excellent with my setup.

It has to be a quality unit or don't waste your money. You could easily run the same Yank SS3600 that I use and hardly notice it's there until you mash the gas pedal. The 3.73 gears you have is what helps make it more than street friendly.
I've also owned a Vig. and that too was a nice converter. Just remember that there slightly under rated. The 2800 I had seemed more like a 3200 stall.

I personally like Precision Industries Vigilante line of converters. They have a 2 year warranty, and within those 2 years you can send it back and they will "restall" it to whatever you like. I just sent my 3200 back for a 4000, no questions asked, very good to deal with, I've had 3 of their converters.

Call Andre at Edge Racing, he will recomend and cusom build something based on your driving habits, car, and mods you have. Can't beat the customer service either. He talked me into a 3000 stall which I was afraid I wouldn't like but normal driving I can't tell the difference. He responds to email very fast and helped me out with a tranmission issue I had too, even after my purchase.

Forgot about Edge, two of my buddies run those. Good converter for the money.

I've ran a TCI 3200 w/ cooler, 373's, N20 and Nitto DR's as a daily driver for years and absolutely loved driving to class everyday and murdering "track" cars on the weekends with it.
