well to start get the most powerful flowing heads out there (AFR 210, TFS215) and then about the cam it is all about the opinion. if you talked to my brother he would say that the TR224 was the most streetable cam you could have, if you talk to someone else, they will tell you a 238/242 is the most streetable cam, just matters how much gear, transmission, and patience you have

LOL, everyone has there idea of what is streetable,some guys will say a 224,some will say t rex,lol that's just how it is,I run a ms4 in my car,do I think its streetable yes,is it the best street cam NO,I drove a 228 ,with ported 243s,stalled auto car a few months back and his car drove great,it was such a better ride all around,honest I wouldn't shoot for the most power,any head/cam/intake car will make decent power,then if you ever want more throw a small shot on there,I would talk to Pat G ,his cams have been putting out great numbers on much smaller cam profiles,there are combos that will make great power but you want usable power in a street car,my big cam car does good on the street if I'm racing,but that's what my car is kind of setup for,call a sponser TSP,EPS,etc ,talk with them they will give ya lots of good info

I'd say the PRC 5.3's with a milled to 40cc and a Steve G custom cam 258/ 222 .743 .501 108+4. No issues with PTV. I have been specing cams for years.

LOL hahaha,

This is a very vague question. It is how big is your wallet.

Also if your looking for the MOST power why are you looking into a streetable cam?

My buddies first setup on his 99 was patriot heads, MS3, LS6 intake and pacesetter longtubes, very cheap setup and made 440whp (6speed)

talk to Tony Mamo,read some threads about his ls engine builds.you probably want a PRC 215/227 head,or look at any AFR head 210/225.or look at some trick flow heads,220/215 .get a custom cam.

OP, what exactly is your idea of "streetable?" What are your transmission and rear end specs?
