408ci (9.2:1 cr)
#317 heads (mild port)
4l80e
tci 3000-3400 stall

I would go something like:
custom Isky
-227/224, .585''/.578'', 114*
-230/227, .592''/.585'', 115*

I think 230@.050'' or less is plenty, but I don't know about that converter, you are probably going to blow through it.

youre going to way overstall that converter... go ahead and do yourself a favor and invest in a Yank, this is by far the best and most efficient converter ive ever owned. Ive got the SC3000.... great turbo converter

the Yank is a better built converter inside and out. the way the pump and stator is setup it transfers power through the converter better without losing it making heat. I've owned LOTS of different converters built by different companies and Yank is the only one who has gotten repeat business if that tells you anything. I know this is a thread about your cam but since you asked...

and I agree with stock48 on his cam selection, something in the high 220's @ .050, around .600" lift, and with a 114 LSA....

I went with a 228-236, 601,601 at 114 that really sounds awesome and puts out some serious power with my 408 and maggie 1900 at 6 lbs of boost. I really like this cam, still idles a little choppy but sounds serious. Here is the dyno chart, I think you will like.
