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.
