You want an 11 second daily driver.....go nitrous. All the great things about being stock, but moves when you want. You go NA low 11s and you are going to have to make sacrifices. Gas mileage being one of the bigger ones.

I vote for the ls6 cam if you want stock reliability but with a performance boost but remember your gonna have to replace the valve springs too.

Daily driver can mean alot of different things. What kind of gas milage are you prepared to put up with. Are you sitting in stop and go traffic. Are you going to change your rear gears. If you want to go 11's you are going to be modifying your car alot more then just a cam.

I might have missed it in your sig but I don't see a stall. That is really going to limit your cam choices.
