Stock 360 Upgrades for Crusher Cuda?

A stock converter won’t work. You’ll start the car, move the gear selector into gear & then promptly stall. Over and over again. Those cams require a very loose converter.

Perhaps you should call a cam company up and explain your goals. You seem to be all over the place with this cam issue despite what’s being said to you.
Yea, I was initially wanting to get a cam that didn't required any transmission upgrades that would still put me in the 14-12.90 range. Others have done it. I thought I was set on the smaller 218/224, .462/.470 Comp cam. As this conversation progresses, suggestions have been made to go bigger, more money, more parts. That was not my initial goal. However, if it makes sense to get the bigger cam, then I will only be able to run the engine bone stock till next year or whenever. I'm not buying multiple cams. One and done. So, I am listening to everyone, and considering the pros and cons. I don't need to have the fastest car at the track, but I do want a car worth taking to the track. This is a big learning experience for me, and the initial hope was just to get a simple, " this recipe worked for me" and go get a similar cam, intake, carb, header set-up. I do like all of input, and it sure is a lot of food for thought.
