For a daily driven car I would go with a 224/224 .575 114 LSA cam and 373 gear. That will get you good all around power and driveability.

That cam will be a bit too much for an auto car with just a 3200 stall.

IMO a 224/228 114lsa +4 (-2* overlap), or a 226/230 114lsa +4(0* overlap), a 226/226 114lsa+4(-2* overlap), and a 228/228 113+4 (+2* overlap)
