Default need help specing a cam

alright guys so waiting on getting my taxes and in the mean time i want to decide on a cam but i am gonna need some help and insight, as of right now this is whats done to the car : pacesetter longtubes, no cats, 3 inch straights throughout no mufflers, cai, p&p throttle body, free mods, i also have a set of 241 BARE heads tht i plan on porting an polishing for this build and also plan to get an ls6 intake.

now these are the goals for my car: i drive it daily in the summer so i would like something that is DECENT on gas, but also makes great power and a noticeable lobe, i would like to reach low 11's all motor.


so based on my current mods the ls6 ill be getting and the 241's i have plus what i have listed for goals what would you guys recommend for a camshaft??

thanks in advance.

You also want to do gears otherwise you won't like the cam, and a stall matched to your gears and cam

i have 3.23 gears right now, would you guys agree 3.73's for an a4 with most cams would be acceptable for a daily driver based on what i listed?

Do the 226 / 234 cam from EPS on a 113

Match it with a 3600+ stall...

Awesome cam. It would be a strong runner for sure.

A 110 LSA is way too much for a DD. I would go with a 112.
