Daily Driver Cam I am thinking about getting a ms4 cam kit from texas speed, and I am wondering if it would be to much for a daily driver setup. Anyone have experience with the ms4 as a daily driver cam, and how is it.

It's a lot of cam for a daily driver but there are a LOT of people that drive them daily. Obviously it won't drive like stock but depending on what you would consider streetable, it would be fine. I think it drives fine but I know what to expect from a cam that big. On the other hand, there are customers that think a 224R cam drive terrible. I would find a buddy with a similar size cam and go for a ride in one.

My experience with a cammed(more MS3 size) M6 is that it's fine unless you have a lot of stop and go traffic on your commute. Trying to creep along with a cammed car sucks as it will not just idle along like stock.

I drive mine everyday that it isn't raining. And the reason for that has got to do with the fat/skinny MT tires and not the cam. I even drove it around with 2.73 rear gears for awhile before I got the 12 bolt. I know you've heard it before but a true statement is "It's all in the tune" when it comes to a MS4.

Stop-n-go, traffic always sucks in a manual trans car; regardless of modifications! 
Plus, the people in the cars around you will really love your exhaust smell if you don't have cats, and they have their windows down.
Go with something like a TSP Trq. v.2, except get it with CompCam LSL 231 (#13018) lobe(.617"lift) on the intake. That would be a nicer DD cam with better low end power than the MS3.
