Trying to decide on a cam for my application. I was pretty set on the Tr230 cam. Then i had a few people try to steer me away from that cam. I've tried to learn this and that the last couple weeks and I still cant decide on a specific cam. I hear people recomend the Trex cam, and then people recomend the G5X2, then the TSP Magic Stick and Its really got me confused... then some people argue over the fact that the cam someone just told me would be perfect for my application someone else says its WAY to big and i dont need it. All i want it a cam that has a nice powerband through out the rpm range, has some very nice lope to it, and produces at least some mid to high 11 second times with everything else i had planned to do. I wanna be fast, and i wanna be able to sit at a stop light and people drool over how mean it sounds at idle. Thats really all I'm looking for. Any suggestions on which one will be perfect for me? 
Here's all the other mods that are going along with the cam to help reach mid to high 11's. Hopefully anyways.
either the Patriot Stage II heads, or the LS6 ported style
Spec Stage 3 clutch
Moser 12-bolt with 4.10's
Hooker Coated LT's
True duals with Sweet thunder 18 inch chamberd dumps
SFC
and STB

Based on the car being a daily driver & your target ET, you might want to consider the 231.237 camshaft. Typically we sell more 231.237 camshafts than the Magic Stick... You might run a quick search for 231/237, alot of guys have had great results while still keeping good low end power

ive got the 231/237 cam..priced right, lobes arent harsh so you wont have to change springs every year & still gives a good power increase...there are many people over 400 to the wheels with this cam. Gives a good amount of lope but with a good tune is daily driveable even with my A4 & 2.73's though i wouldnt recommend that gearing 
Yep, I made 451rwhp and 403rwtq with the 231/237 cam and Patriot LS6 style heads with a TSP mail order tune. You can get one of their "package deals" that has everything you need for a damn good price.

If you're looking for a cam that has a nasty lope but still daily drivable, I'd say the 231/237 would definitely fit the bill...you'll just need a good tune or you'll be fighting with the idle. Something a little more conservative might be the 228R cam.
