Default Cam suggestions

OK this is probably not too common, but I am wondering what would be a good cam for a 408ci 2.055/1.6 heads?

I currently have a 238/242 .608 115 cam and its not too lopey, but i really want something a little more streetable, but that will still make decent power. I have tuned pretty extensively with HPT and it still has shitty cold starts and some bucking and just overall not really comfortable for an M6 daily driven car.

Any suggestions?

Someone more experienced should be able to get that cam to idle/drive better. I'm running 237/242 in an automatic 346 and it's perfectly fine.

Yeah, maybe, but I have tried quite a few things. Once warm, it doesnt surge or anything and BARELY bucks, but cold it sucks!
My idle air and OL VE are dialed in just right. I dont know why the cold start is so bad.

Have you asked in the computer diagnosics/tuning section? I'm sure there are people who can help you out with the tuning. My cold starts are great. Now, if I drive away and then stop and idle in gear very soon (on COLD days) it fluctates in a large way and I have to put it into neutral and feather the throttle. It doenst do that when it's warm outside or when I drive for more than a minute or two before stopping.
