That's a pretty big cam for a street smallblock. That camshaft should use a converter with about 3800 stall if used on the street. About 4300-4500 for full race.
Gearing depends on tire size and how you want to run it. On the street, 3.73 is still a good compromise ratio but on the track something around 4.56 or deeper might be better.
I can't find those cam specs anywhere in the comp cams catalog.

You can run whatever stall you want but to get the best performance potential, the converter should be matched with the cams powerband.
