Default Cam selection

I am having a cam installed in the next few days and was thinking of having it done a 21st Century Muscle cars in Carrolton. They have a 224/224 .566. For a daily driver without heads (fort the time being) should I go with this or the MTI C2 .581 with the XE-R lobes? Also does anyone have any experience with 21st Century Muscle cars? I want someone who can do a good job with the tuning. Or if you have any other sugg's let me know. Thanks

Never heard of 21st Century, but who grinds the 224 .566 cam they have for you?

I'd stay stick with the .566; on stock heads the extra lift of the C2 is just going to help you break springs more often. In fact, I'm considering a CC 224/224 .533/.533 113 for the same reason.
