I have a 231/237 112LSA and I've driven it once since I put it in. I was still in my valve spring breakin period so I kept it under 3K. It seemed pretty streetable to me.

IT all comes down to two things when having a cam that is "streetable".....
There's is a thread in here called "what makes a cam lope?" It is a good one to read to get a little crash course in what makes a cam "lope" and also why some cams are less streetable than others.....
there are two determining factors in how streetable a cam is:
1) Overlap-higher the number, more unstreetable it is
2) cam split-the more the split, the more unstreetable it is
Here's why the TR224 on a 114 LSA is such a good choice.....another would be the MTI C1 or C2 cam.......low overlap and no split....the 114 lsa does NOT indendently determine how hard a cam lopes....it is just part of the equation that determines how hard it lopes...

My vote is for a TR224 grind if you plan on keeping stock M6 3.42 gears. Going with 4.10s you can get away with a bigger cam 23*/23* duration.
Mods: Stock 241 heads, Lid, Ported TB, Smooth bellow, TR224 112LSA, Yella Terra 1.7s, Jet Hot Longtubes @ ORY, Open QTEC and Mikey's tuning..........
A power curve that will beat most of the larger cams out there until 5500 rpms which makes it the best overall street cam.
