To realy see the effect's of a cam you need some boltons... Headers, intake mainifold, y pipe, catback ect... Cam's need to breathe. do those bolt ons first or do them and a cam all at once.

lid>Headers and exhaust or cutout>Then cam
do a search but for a daily driver most choose a 224 cam.

How about the CheaTR II cam. You get decent HP, and it is designed for stock exhaust with cats. Only down side is that it sounds stock.

99-TR-CHEATRLS2-CAM

When I do mine, I'm going with the TR 230/224 "reverse split" cam, but I have full exhaust and big converter.
