FYI= Josh built the Blue Goose the first ls1 in Texas in the 8's i believe, and he did / does Worm Boy's car now. Rick's car was done by, JBZ racing, Disterbing The Peace, HPE did the motor, Kenjo Kelly does the tuning and Rick does all the wrenching on his car. But no doubt GoldRust (Josh) is an excellent tech if you choose to go that way.

Do you have stock heads? If yes, you will not see the gains that "S" cam's extra duration and lift offer over the F13 or similar cam. The "S" cam might be worth 10 or so more rwhp, but at 6,500-7,000 rpm. And it will probably have a softer bottom end. You said this is not a race car, but a daily driver. The "S" cam looks like a race cam to me. I would imagine the F13 or similar cam will trade 10 or so hp for 10 or so torque. The above dyno info for the "S" cam says 425hp and 375tq. I personally would prefer 415hp and 385tq.
Again, what is your cylinder head situation?

The HPE S cam would not need to spin to 7k rpm to make power or to make more powe than the F13. I also wouldn't call it a race cam, it's specs are very similer to the MS3, which I have on my daily driver and love it. 
However I too think that based on what you have posted the S cam, or hte MS3 for that matter, is probably more than you are looking for. At one point you said you were not looking for the biggest or loudest, etc. Just grab an F13 and be done with it!

Ok guys here is where I got my info from.
Here is the dyno pull http://www.horsepowerengineering.com/media/MOV01342.MPG
Here is the cam at idle http://www.horsepowerengineering.com/media/MOV01344.MPG
Notice that the torque is WAAAY off due to the huge spikes.
My guess would be 425rwhp/370rwtq
BLASTER made 415/400 with the F-13. I'd much rather have that

And yes, to me, a 238°/242° 605" 610" on 115 lsa is a race cam

.My 237/242 .603/.609 113 is my incredibly fun and well mannered daily driver cam.

I would have gotten the 112+4 anyhow.

Good Luck,
