I'm thinking that you're gonna have to give up more info than a camshaft if you want an answer to that...
Sorry lol im not good with describing stuff lol its has gt40 heads 3.73 gears and just an aod trans. If there is any other info needed you may just have to ask this is my first car build.
Most cam cards have a recommended stall on them. Of course they are for a street application, what is the purpose for this vehicle?
I'd say at least 3000RPM, maybe even 3500RPM especially if the car is a heavier convertible or so.
F cam likes revs, so with an AOD, you really want to get up in the revs as soon as you can.
To be honest, with an AOD, I'd look for a cam that makes torque down low. An 86-88 speed density cam is great for this...but then you lose that cool sound.

I've always enjoyed a manual more than an automatic on the street/limited track duty. Full on race car...auto...but it's still not as fun. To build an AOD right,it costs considerable,but so does the manual. You could throw a good valve body/trans cooler and torque converter in and be happy. T5 swap isn't cheap if you add a lot of new parts...i.e. Clutch,flywheel,cable-quadrant,good shifter,etc.
Right up until you make decent power and realize that if the clutch wasn't slipping the input shaft would be snapping...
That's where I'm at.... can't dump the clutch, have to roll into the throttle and one miss shift and it's over....
Still alot of fun.
