dude if you looking for a good cam that produces good hp and has great street manners..

something like a 224/224 or even a 228/228 for something a little more aggressive.

the cam you have listed is a small cam, not much bigger than stock or a ls6 grind.

both cams sizes I listed are very common cams choices for guys that want excellent street manners but some extra hp and fun.

if you start going as large as my cam 231/237 the car starts becoming less and less of a daily driver...

when picking a cam...
you have to ask yourself, how big are you going to build your car, what are you goals for hp, and how do you drive your car..

once you list that people can more easily suggest a cam
