I think that what Mr Blaze is saying in his own humourous way is that no such thing exists. In order to use an agressive cam other things have to be changed as well. You will need to improve the heads, intake, exhaust etc, and then you won't be able to use a stock convertor.

You are going about things in the wrong way, first decide what you want to do with the car in terms of performance and drivability etc, secondly choose components to achieve it. Heads, intake etc should be chosen and then a cam to suit.

More importantly, with an aggressive cam you can't use the stock computer either.
