Daily Driver Cams
I daily drove an FTI HellRaiser cam.
229/236 .631.631 112+2 and loved it. I wanted to go bigger but sold the car first. Torque was amazing, and too end simply screamed.
Agree with Jake; drive ability is subjective. Mine even had solid motor mounts with a poly Trans.

My 5'2" 120lb, blonde, petite, vet tech, 25 year old wife DDs her TA.(not trying to brag, maybe a little)
02 full bolt ons, 224r 112, yank 3600ss, 3.23. Never heard a single complaint about drivabilty from her. She loves the thing to death. Drivability is a matter of opinion, Im sure I dont have to tell anyone that though.
Drives great on the street, feels like stock, with an additional 100 hp.

With 6.5* overlap it'll have a nice cam sound and a little bit of shake, should work fairly well, but I probably would have went a little smaller like the BTR Stage ll cam.

What size converter did you end up going with for that cam? If it were me with that cam I'd go with a good tight 3600 like the ss3600. Sure you might be able to get away with a 3000-3200, but the performance will be better with the 3600 and I doubt you could tell much of a difference between the two driving around town.
You really can't run a stock stall with a big aftermarket cam. You'll blow through your brakes and it will be a pain in the *** to drive on the street safely.
And that's different than having a lumping, surging monster cam with a loose stall. It's actually about being able to stop without rolling through red lights and such. You need to raise the idle up to 1K or so on most aftermarket cams and with a 1600 stall, you simply don't have enough headroom to actually drive the car.

Currently I have not picked up a stall yet. I was looking at a 3200-3600 but I'm also stuck on injectors as well. I saw SS3600 was recommended by tick so I was looking down the road for the stall. So its either the 36lb injectors or a stall this month lol...
I don't think it's a big cam. Good medium stick, it is. Took me about a yr to outgrow it.
OP, get the Yank 3600, and get some supercharged Pontiac GTP injectors. They're 42# at our pressure of 58psi. They can be had on the cheap if you search around...

It's a mid-sized cam. I usually look at total overlap @ 0.050" to determine "size," since that affects how it drives. Anything under 8 degrees can be tuned to drive pretty nice. Anything under 2-4 degrees can be daily driven without too much protest by most people.
That 226/234 113 is at 4 degrees... so it would be a nice driver IMO.
A cam like mine has 16 degrees of overlap. So it starts to be on the ragged edge as to what people can stand. Once you dip into the 20s or even mid 20s for overlap on a 346, I think that's probably a bit overkill. Hard to tune it to behave properly, because there just is so little vacuum at low engine speed. The T-Rex had 25 degrees of overlap. Probably about as big as you want on anything that sees street time.
