Default Good 6 speed cam

Hey guys im gonna be putting a cam in my car this winter its a bolt on car right now, just doesnt have an LS6 intake, but im VERY picky when it comes to parts. So im looking for something thats gonna be a good cam in a 6 speed car, but i want something thats at least somewhat driveable, but i want something thats decent sized also. I was thinking like the FM14, or maybe the TSP 231/237 i think its a .595/.598 or Magic Stick v.3 or something like that. What do you guys think i should go with? thanks alot

That's a helluva cam for driveability. Tuning is gonna be another issue. IMO, a TR224 or equiv (maybe even less duration) is gonna be "driveable". If this car is a commuter, something as big as a 231/237 is gonna shock yer system fershure...
