BlackFormula01 is damn right about the ""streetable" cam...but thats also a relative term."

I have a Comp cams GRIND #: LS1 3767R /3753R HR114.0
GROSS VALVE LIFT .532 .535 - DURATION @ .050 220.00 224.00 - LSA 114.0
In my car, and even with a tune it shakes a bit much for me at 900rpm idle.
I can just imagine a 112 LSA is going to be a pain in rush hour traffic.
Why don't you look at the MIT Stealth cam?

Be very suspicious of the guys that shout TREX or similar, as they are not listening to you.

I got the 224 112 and it's a pussycat for everyday driving. With 3.42s, it's really mild mannered around town yet wakes up big time at 4k. How can ya beat it, a pussycat around town, and an animal when you crack the whip. Idles like stock too except for a little lope, and the engine music.

Your car will be as driveable as your tune.

That sounds like a good 224 description. A tuned 224 is nothing to drive everyday. A good tune on a large cam really isn't hard at all to drive everyday. I drive the MS3 (237/242 on a 113) daily, year round in Indiana, in an A4. Part of that is the relativity of the "streetable" definition based on who you talk to. Some people don't want a real muscle car. lol

Wouldn't hurt of course, but not necessary.

Thunder Racings 224 is a good choice. They also have a 227/224. It idles almost dead stock and makes good power. In a stock ZO6 it went 12.1 with a poor 60 ft. of 2.04 and severe traction problems.
