I have a cam for sale that had a good lope and was streetable. It's a custom spec Futral cam but i'm not 100% sure about the flycutting with stock heads. I am running the Trick Flow 215cnc heads on my car. The cams specs are 232/236-646/612@114LSA. I don't think you would have to fly cut using stock heads and this cam but I would double check just to be sure. My stock bottom end full weight Camaro went 10.90@123mph using this cam. PM me if interested. Asking $250.00 plus shipping.

another vote for the 228r, seems to work well with stock heads. I think the 110lsa would be a bit nasty for most to consider a great daily driver. I'd go with the 112.

I think that's a good choice... you should call up TSP and they might be able to shed a little more light on how that cam will be for a daily driver, they will also be able to recommend an LSA and a spring. I can about guarentee they will recommend the PAC 1518 beehive spring which has a max lift of 0.600". TSP has really knowlegable tech guys that are quite willing to sit down and talk cams with you.

Actually PAC 1518 are good for .650 of lift and PAC are good for .600. But great choice for your needs!
