Default Most agressive cam you can street??

My goal is a 10.7 pass. So since this is a daily driver i have decided heads/cam and "NAWZ" is the way togo. I will be using a 100 shot, but on my m6 what is the most agressive cam i can use in the street??? Something were i can still start on a hill, i live in the mountains, also with the clutch i have i can slip quite a bit but don't want to get stuck.
Thanks, SSL

That is really up to you.. Tuning is going to be your major factor. You can run a huge cam if you want if it is tuned right..

Rear end gear is your solution to 230* and or bigger.Gearing will offset lack of accelleration at low rpm with good sized cam.I use max rpm lower end is good for as determining factor for cam size. Stock lS1 should be good for 7000 shifts so i would not go bigger than 230*, if it peaks at 6400 rpm you add 600 rpm for ultimate shift point and that puts you at 7000rpm.

If you are going to spray, I'd just get a big split duration cam. Though, I personally wouldn't spray on a daily driver w/ a stock bottom end. Make sure you have back up transportation lol.

I am running a 230/230 .585 .585 110lsa and have no driveability issues. I think you could go even bigger and have a very fast street car, just need to know how to drive it. 3.90s in the rear.
