Default Best cam?

What's the best cam to run for a daily driver? I have a 2002 trans am M6. I want it to sound lopey but i want max performance throughout the entire power band. I am going to completely go through this motor. I am purchasing Afr's 205s, headers, y-pipe and gears but not sure what size yet. i want this to be a daily driver/drag car. My goal is to put down low 11 second 1/4 mile times NA, but i plan on adding nitrous also. Ive also condsidered buying an lsx iron block because i want longevity. And ideas?

Wow...Get in touch with one of the sponsers (Texas Speed, Thunder Racing, ect..) or try to PM PatrickG here on the forum. They will give you the best options for what you are wanting.
