If your going to run the stock torque converter then I highly recommend a cam no larger than 208º. If you want a muscular idle sound a 112º lobe cente will work well. Cams with longer duration will start to make the low end power weak especially with a stock converter. Tuning the PCM will also compliment a cam upgrade.
Now if your going to add a higher stall converter then there are other possibilities for cam choices.
