Could I use 231/231?

Its all about personal preference. There are easily one or two dozen that run the T-Rex in their daily drivers. Thats a hell of a lot bigger then a 231/231. I'm going to be running the 231/237 hopefully in about a month. It also depends on the tune....if you get a good tune you can iron out a lot of the drivability issues. Do a search man, **** there's got to be a dozen posts with questions you just asked.

Yeah, I think so. I'm putting in the tsp torquer (233/233 .589 112lsa) in my 98 M6 TA. You'll def. need tuning though! Everybody's defintion of streetable is different, but i think that would be fine for ya.

I'm having MTI's R1 232/236 installed now and it will see some hwy trips as well as plenty of drag runs.

I run a G5X2 (232/240 .595/.609 112 LSA) in my daily driver. It wasn't intended to be my dd but the ol' beater gave up and the SS had to assume dd duties. Other than the problem I have with startups, either cold or hot, it runs well. I'm sure fine tuning can take care of the startup problems though, as I got a mail order tune.

I have to lightly hold the gas for about 5-10 seconds at about 1000 rpms. Then I let off the pedal and it goes to its idle, which is at about 900 rpms.
If I don't do this it will stumble and shake like a **** wanting to turn off going up and down from 400 to 1000 rpms for about 15 secs or so. Like I said, I'm sure fine tuning will take care of this, but I just haven't had the time to get to it.

From what little research I've done on "real" daily driveable cams, the 231/237 (less than .600 of lift) cam seems to be about as big as you want to go. I know others can daily drive much larger cams, but to actually drive in stop and go traffic with stock heads it seems to be the safe maximum. I could be wrong but that's what I've seen for a full bolt + cam dialy driver car.
To me though daily driving is 30min of driving to and from work in stop and go traffic. If I put a cam in it'd be my only form of transportation, so it has to be drivable year round and dependable.

That's a subjective question. It's all about what YOU consider streetable for a daily driver. I'll be using a 231/237 in my daily driver. I'd consider a 231/231 perfectly fine as a DD.

I have MTI's R1 cam in my 383 stroker with these same issues, I have to pedal the gas for 30 sec. while the engine warms, after that it goes right to 800 rpms and it fine from that point on. Occasional surging while slowing down for a red light, but not enough to kill the motor. I like this cam for daily driving and some trips to the drag strip, it's a good compromise....Randy

I'm running a 231/237 on 3.42's. Even though it's a fine daily driver, I think it is as big as I would like to go on stock gears.
