Just go with a 224/224 561 114lsa cam... oh and one other thing....
How about either a 1/4 mile track that slopes at 89 degree downward incline, or a very large turbine engine strapped to your roof..
Oh, hope you're planning on a 2600 lb race weight. lol

I guess that means it's easy to do then, right? Since there are a few cars out there doing it, I guess everybody with cammed car should be running 10's then..
Look dude, my point, as well as RedHotZ28's point is simply that most people's idea of a "daily driver" car and running mid 10's have no place in the same sentence.. especially when he raises the bar by saying he wants to do it naturally aspirated with head/cam and bolt ons.. These cars are fast, sure, but physics DO still apply, and if this guy thinks that if he jabs in a lumpy cam, adds a set of ported heads, and bolts a FTRA onto an otherwise stock car to start running 10.50's, he's in for a hard lesson on speed.

10 seconds in 80*f and 70% humidity weather, heads, cam, N/A, pump gas, 3380lb raceweight, all safety features, a/c, stock monsoon sound system, stock k-member and a-arms, stock stamp steel torque arm, and the list goes on. oh and street driven always, not just to the track!
LSwonder just go for it, it is possible, with the right combo and practice.

well i am gonna do a lil bit of weight reduction like a tubular kmember some drag suspension pieces and a few other things.oh btw iver heard some good things about the magic stick camshaft hows it run?
Hows it run??? do you mean during everyday driving or at the track?? On the track it flys, We have not even had a chance to get any kind of decent weather and it has been in the 10's every visit except once it went two 11.0's, but track prep was not great and we were spinning a little and then it started to rain. As far as everyday driving, it runs quite well. It took 2 tunes to get all of the cold surging to go away and that is only because we were trying to get it to idle to low, but now everything is great.

as said ... 10 sec is not easy, especially if wanting to maintain decent street manners...my car is about 3200lbs runs very good and has decent street manners but in order to get 10s I'll have to get better 60ft which means more tire and 6000rpm launch plus right temp/air .... which means more clutch-gears-build up of rear end etc etc....my point is 10s isn't easy you have to earn it the "old fashened way" (hard work and money)... good luck.
With nitrous, sure you can do it. Without? Good luck. It takes a major amount of power to push a M6 NA car into the 10's weighing over 3,200. One of my buddies has a 382 NA, stripped interior, etc. etc. etc running 10.75. It puts down like 475 rwhp through a 12 bolt. He just busted another DS. That much power causes the weak links to break right and left.
For your question, I say a nice 230/230 cam.
