LOl, LOL, maybe, but not nearly as weird and illogical as basing your cam selection on the results of a popularity poll on a website.

FM13 seems pretty good with 114lsa
will comp 918 springs work good with that cam or should he just go dual. I told him to go with the comp 921's like I have on my LS6's but hes saving money for a new shortblock so he wants a inexpensive spring

Most all off-the-shelf LS1 cams can be driven on the street, with varying levels of driveability. The only cams that are too big for the street are some custom grinds that are special ordered, say 260 degees and bigger or with solid lifters. Lots of people DD the T-Rex or Magic stick and do just fine. Mine is a little smaller than the Magic Stick, but it is fine once you get used to it.
The TR224 is a nice daily driver cam, but the cam that will make the most power is the biggest one you can live with.

My MS3 isn't a problem day to day. Only issue is that my converter and gears aren't aggressive enough to take full advantage.
