It is my daily driver so im trying to stay as reliable as possible. It is a 2002 z28 M6 with lid intake , pacesetters and ory. How long or far could i safely drive this car without a tune. Also what should i go with the 112 or 114. Pros and Cons for my setup would be appreciated.

On a M6 a 224/224 112 is a good choice. I take it you have the LS6 Intake? A cam that revs up to peak power ~ 6300 RPM's is a good choice.

You will even have a nice little lope, if that is what you want.

If you are trying to step you could go to a 226/228 112+2 or a 228/228 112+2..That might get you an additional 10-20 HP. I would not go over ~6 degrees of overlap.

It might be difficult to go without a tune. All those cams will change your VE, and will need some additional air and fueling changes to get it to idle properly.

But, it is worth it. Good luck..

I really do like the lope but from what I understand that doesnt go well with drivability.I just dont want it to be in the shop constantly. And yes it has ls6 intake , pacesetters LT and ORY and cutout, and intake

I initially had a 220/220 114+4 cam (emissions cam). I actually liked it. It had just a little 'burble' at idle. It made good power right up to about 6200-6300 RPM's.

If idle is a concern, just go with the 224/224 114. That is probably right at the 'sweet-spot' for a daily driver who wants additional HP but still wants a decent idle.

I've put about 50k miles on my TR224 114lsa over the last ~2 years. Great daily driver cam.

A step up from the 224/224 would be a 228/228. IMO, you might want to look at a 224/228 or a 226/230 since you don't have high flow heads.
A 112 lsa will give you a slightly narrower peaked power band with better low end power, and a 114 lsa will give you a wider, less peaked power band.
