Only you can decide what is ultimately right for you since you will DD this car but keep in mind nitrous likes exhaust biased cams...... If you can raise compression that will help too says Captain Obvious.

whats streetable for one person isnt the same for another. i think my ms3 drives great i could drive it everywhere if i had to, makes good power and loves nitrous. not to mention sounds mean as hell. It really depends on how good your tuner is also.

208 / 230 .554" / .546" 121lsa

the high LSA makes a a nice stock like idle (well not exactly stock like) but smooth lol

keep in mind you will need a stall with your cam to make it really work well. but i would reccomend patrickG's 228/232 cam that he custom grinds that seems like it would be a great cam on 114 lsa. otherwise the 228r would give great power for you with a nice chop or the stealth 2 would give similar power but would idle like stock and drive nice because of the 116lsa. But with an auto and a good tuner i would pick a low 230's cam if i were you.

I have a tsp224 116lsa and the car idles and drives like stock. Sounds great with my GMMG. If I had to do it again I'd probly go with a 114 or115 lsa, bring the peak power down
