Question HOTCAM or STALL CONVERTER

Help me spend $2,000.00??? Should I get a stall converter or a hotcam kit? Or both? would I get out of my budget trying to get both? Will my car do alright as a daily driver? ? Who makes the best stall??? I was going to get the Hotcam kit, Elect. H2O pump, timing chain, computer tune, 2800 stall, tranny cooler, deeper tranny pan, and any other little things I may need??? help me out with these questions!! Please, my taxes are burning a hole in my pocket!!!

I'd go with a hotcam first. Especially if you have 3.23s.
If you have 2.73s, then yea get both, as the guy with the slow *** camaro above mentioned.

the stall and cam will work together. kind of like a cam/heads. maybe you should have gotten a lower stall speed. maybe like 2400 or something. do you have a lockup convertor? i love mine.

a lockup converter locks up at around 45mph and saves you some gas on the highway

Get the stall or get the stall and the cam kit. But don't get just the cam kit. Need a stall with that cam.

Go with both! If you put every thing in your self you should have no problem staying under $2000.
