Cam decision, ms3???
I have a 2001 Camaro with
ls6 intake
Slp lid
Lt headers
X pipe
Tsp Tru duals
241 heads
4l60 trans
4000 yanks stall
Tubular rear control arms, adjustable pan hard bar,
Tubular torque arm
275/60r15 Bfg drag radial
Looking for a pretty choppy cam but one that I can still street drive I want a cam that adds pretty good hp but is still kind of daily friendly I was thinking about ms3 but looking at other cams what do u think would be the best for good track times

The BTR stage 3 cam would be a good choice.

Sorry to sound harsh but "daily driver" and "MS3 or Pulluter" don't belong in the same sentence.
These threads get really old. It's the modern day equivalent of: "I got a 8.5:1 compression 350 in my Silverado with stock gears and stock converter, thinking about a 280 cam for it"

DD friendly and a pretty choppy cam do not really belong in the same sentence unless you have a higher tolerance for driving a car like that.
I wouldn't recommend such a large camshaft if being DD friendly is a stipulation. Most people think you need a huge cam to sound good and chop at idle. A small amount of positive overlap in a LS1 engine will chop a fair amount at idle, so a large cam isn't needed to sound good.
I'd worry more about performance as any cam you order from any company or shop is going to have some amount of chop to it at idle unless you specifically request otherwise.
What do you mainly use the car for and how often do you drive it?

To be less cranky and more helpful, listen to what people like Martin say. He can easily spec you out a great cam for your build to get great power and still drive excellent. Max effort cams are more orientated to track use with steep gears, large converters, and lightweight cars.
As far as sound the 205/210 cam in my truck has a noticeable lope if I tune it that way.

You have a 4000 stall... buy whatever you want. The stall absorbs a lot of the bad manners of cams. Plus, the tune makes a big difference. But please don't buy a cam for sound. Any cam can sound good...
My car drives plenty fine and it's a little bigger than an MS3 in terms of overlap. My 4200 stall helps a lot.
