Default Best cam for me HELP

posted a thread before about choosing a cam for my car. I have a 01 M6 ss and im looking to get a cam for it. What im looking for is something that will work good with bolt ons such as longtubes, lid, etc. and 100 Shot nitrous. I don't want a MS3 or 4 cam as i do have to drive my car to work for a week every now and then. So it has to be daily drive-able. I was looking into ordering the TSP 228r cam with the 112 LSA i would like to have a cam that's going to give me the most usable power and torque that i don't have to wind the car out to the moon. And if possible have a noticeable shop at idle. Any suggestions would be great id like to stay with TSP cams and looking at ordering within the next week. Thanks

I'm using a 224/230 xer273 comp cam and it fits whAt you are looking for, but a 224r or 228r (better choice) will give you the same driveability unless you wanna she'll out the money for a custom cam
