Default Best daily driving cam.

I tried to searched but it's not being to happy for me this morning..

I need a cam that i can put in for a cam-only setup, that can be daily drivin and still sound mean and get decent HP gains.

Stock heads, stock TB.

The only thing i will be changing is i have some pacesetters LT's im going to put on.

I want something that sounds mean.. and that with a good tune with can easily daily drivin with my setup.

Yes i know i will need to change the valve train.. i need a recommendation for that too.


Thanks.

TR224/224 112LSA was an EXCILENT daily driver cam.......it makes good hp (390-410rw depending on mods), has a mild lope, does not need to be spun past 6400/6500RPM (won't blow a rod), does not need any "fancy" valve springs (just some good 918s or other direct swap performance spring will work), "CAN" be run on a stock tune (though it will be a total pig), and just all around WORKS!

You would order that from thunderracing.com hence the TR.
