Default Street/Strip cam only without flycutting

Im looking for a cam that can be driven on the street regularly but with a heavy regular strip emphasis (weekly strip work in winter)

DEFINATELY NOT interested in fly cutting pistons

What kind of cams are out now that would be suitable for me?
I like a grumpy idle and can put up with a lot in a DD (see converter and gears).

Can I be guaranteed I wouldnt have to fly cut with a TRex?

What about the GMPP cams? ASA, Grand Am Cup cam?

Anything else interesting around with track times to back them up?

At the moment the car (LS1) is making 307rwhp through 4500 stall converter.
The car has 1.75" primaries, dual 2.5" catback, PSI valve springs, 25% UD pulley, CAI, 4.11 diff gears and weighs 3750lbs.

Completely stock bottom end, stock heads, stock LS6 intake, stock electric TB, stock 4L60E.

Has run 12.2@110mph in 74 degrees F with 1008MB.
Hopefully will run an 11.9X as is with better weather

Any help or links MUCH appreciated

Never looked into those cams, anyone care to give some info?

I would say MS4 since you said its going to be seeing DD....I would go with a Trex but thats me.

Also any track results yet for MS4?

Try a Futral F14 high lift. That cam makes really good power and torque.

Those GMPP cams are outdated. Much better technology has risen since their introduction.

Look at the camshaft that most of the competitors for the fastest "cam only" car are running. Make your own implications.

That 4000 stall is really going to help you out, but you'll need to get some weight out of that car if you really want it to run well.

Might want to look at the Futral cams. I've seen a lot of them run good times from my local buddies.
