Default quick question?

I know this is a stupid question but how will stock converter in a 2008 silverado 5.3l work with a 224/230 cam i know its not going to run good numbers but I'm just wandering how it wil run as a DD. I'm getting a 3600 stall but not till summer and I'm putting the cam in during christmas break.

Youll be able to drive it around, but it will suck wind bad anywhere below 3000 rpm... it just felt strange when I rode around in a friends truck with a decent sized cam without a converter... real laggy then suddenly power lol

Yea man no power for me at all down low. In the 1/4 i had a 2.4 60" time but trapped 99mph. 1st gear was **** for me but once i hit 2nd it pulled hard as hell. Road racing is fine just nothing from a dig. All that changes though with a 3600 stall.
