I would and maybe you already have included your tuner in your parts selection including the injectors and see what he thinks combo wise.
Just as a side note there are a couple of somewhat local tuners that I have used and have done a great job tuning my LS swaps. Both have told me the same thing in regards to engine HP. Some folks spend a $1000 to chase 10-15 HP.
I definitely like the Circle stall convertor….been reading a lot of good reviews on them.

I appreciate the feedback on the cam…it’s really the toughest thing to try and get right, at least for me. I want an aggressive sound, but still want driveability. Obviously since I’m rodding it out I don’t need a daily driver type set up which takes some pressure off.

On that note, both cams are actually somewhat smooth for the most part compared to what I thought they’d be when I heard the specs. Luckily the internet has about 4-5 clips of both LS trucks and cars running the cams that were suggested. The Texas Speed cam is the smoother cam, although without a doubt you know there’s something in there. Recommended stall was 2800 with that cam.
Comp Cams suggested 2800-3000 stall for the cam recommended from them.

I don’t think 2800/3000 stall is crazy and I don’t want to go much north of that.
