You could have a 3000 Stall converter, everyday driving is not going to change. The only difference a converter is going to make is when you stand on the gas pedal. The power is not going to spin the tires until 2700~3000 RPM.The stock converter stalls at 1600 which is horrible when trying to have a mustang with an auto move. A mustang with a stock converter (even when flashing the converter) will crawl away from the line instead of taking off...Keep in mind with a cam lift really does not play a role in clearances until you get in the upper 230+ duration.Duration is where you want to watch. Do the AFR's have the better lift springs or are they the older style where they won't accept much lift?I am not against cams by any means but, I would only invest in a cam if you plan on racing a lot. You can go pretty far with a stock cam believe it or not.Their are guys running 10's on stock cams. The difference in the stock cam vs. the aftermarket is maybe .2 -.3/10 of a second in the 1/4 mile for your average driver.</blockquote>
