TSP has a great selection of camshafts as does BTR. If you are keeping the factory torque converter the BTR Truck Norris is a great choice. An aftermarket converter will give you a wider camshaft choice. The gen4 36lb or 50lb truck injectors are dirt cheap and have good conversion data for the gen3 5.3 engine.

I am not good with colloquialisms, but if "pushing through the converter" and "not happy in drive" means that when you put it in drive it stalls, it sounds like a tuning issue. Or does pushing through the converter mean that it acts like you are giving it gas and holding the brakes hard at the same time? Another tuning issue.
Just trying to present an easier solution than replacing the converter.

I wish it was stock converter friendly.. maybe just my combo idk! Single cab step side. Just got done swapping the Norris Cam in... and it is awesome power wise... but putting into gear and holding in drive it is NOT happy lol. Trys pushing through the converter bad. I am looking for a budget 2500 or so stall converter for the mean time until I have a built trans done, and will go with a Circle D after.
I put a Yank TT3000 in my truck recently (had to call them, couldn't find it on their site anymore) and spent $600 on it. It flash stalls to about 2400 RPM. I'm not exactly happy with it for the price. Wish I would have seen this converter or got the FTI 3200 stall that BTR has listed on their site.
