Ready to replace bearings and install cam......What's a good spec??

I need your opinion Chris. Right now my combo is mis-matched. I have a cam that's designed for a 2500 stall speed and my converter locks at 3500. If it were your car would you get a larger can to match the torque convertor (less $$), or try to get Dynamic Racing to either replace or give me another stall convertor set at 2500 to match my current cam design (either way more $$than a cam swap)?
My engine builder and some buddies think that I should get the smaller torque convertor (for driveability purposes on the street) but I want to your opinion. I guess I need to know what a better combo would be for my Edelbrock street legal unported/unpolished heads and intake. At this point all hopes are lost for a timeslip this season as the drag strip closes this Sunday. That sucks but now I can concentrate on next year and finishing everything the right way rather than rushing. I still need to get my hood and extra spoiler painted

Thanks again!
