Dude the first thing people are gonna do is tell you to do a search on different cams, to find out what you like. As far as driveability with a good tune you can DD almost any cam just depends on your meaning of driveability, I personally went with a TSP 228R, which is awesome, but thats me. Do some more research on different cams, and think about getting a custom grind, contact pat g or predz, to see what they can tell you.

You can't ask for max hp and you DD your car. Those two don't work well together. If I was you I would call up texas speed or thunder racing, tell them what you are looking for and how much ÿou are willing to tolerate from a car you have to drive all the time. Or just order up a 228r or TR228 and be done with it.
