If you want a decent sized cam, you'll need a high stall converter.

You also need to consider that you will feel more loosenes if you stick with your 3.15 gears when you install a high stall converter. I would install at least 3.42 gears, better yet would be 3.73s or 3.90s. For my converter I would go with a Yank SS3800.
