I have the same car and am going with Comp Cam 224/224 .569/.569 @ 114 LSA
Also going to the 3.42 gear but no T/C (waste of gas)
Add a LS6 intake, roller sproket, and CC springs w/ Ti retainers. All used stuff, except springs. Cheap and adds lots of HP and torque.

You're making a big mistake not installing a high stall T/C with that cam. That is a decent sized cam that needs a good T/C to perform at it's best. You will also lose driveability, that cam will have a faster idle than the stock cam and you will probabily get the cruise control effect if you use a stock converter. As far as gas mileage goes, that will depend on how aggressively you drive your car.
