Mine stalls at about 2200, I like it. Alot of folks run a 2400. I wouldn't go higher than 3000 for a street driven car.

3000 would work really well. If you want the most out of it, 3400-3600 would give a bit more snap if you have a sticky tire to handle it. Goodluck! I am in the category of, "even a stock engine needs a 3000 stall" Haha

The GM hotcam would work great for drag racing with a 4000 stall. 3500 would be really fun on the street. 3000 would be an absolute minimum. A stock cam works good with 2800 stall. The hotcam is nowhere near stock. its as aggressive as a CC305 from comp cams and needs aggressive stall speed so it doesn't feel like a sluggish turd from a dead stop.
