track/street.
i want the one that makes the best power on the street and at the track. i dont care if it dynos high if it doesnt perform well
i looked at the dyno for the 216/220 and looked like it increases power through 1300-6200rpms. is the cheatr cam also like this

well i meant, i want whichever one makes the most useable power throughtout the whole rpm range.
i dont want one thats only good at say 3k-6200. does that make sense. i dont really get the whole cam thing yet. still learning
basically i want the best smoggable cam(live in ca) and the best one for stock manifolds

It is the big lift that will cause the springs to need replacement. I would say moderate driving and the occaisional trip to the drag strip you will see around 10k out of a good set of double springs before they really start showing signs of fatigue.

If you let the car warm up properly before beating the **** out of your car yeah id say the same thing, but if you keep forgetting and starting up and goin dont expect a long life springs.
