There are quite a few that make the power, do a search and you will find many and there characteristics. I have the same car, I have a G5x2 with the necessary bolt-ons and parts to make it work. I can lay the smack down on alot of head/cam cars out there. I drive it a 100 miles everyday and still get over 20 miles to the gallon! It all depends on what you call streetable also. The combination of parts and the tune are very important as it won't live up to its potential with mismatched parts.

t-rex, FM14, FM13, MSP3, there are just too many to list. Put them all in a hat, and pick one.

Sounds like the FM-13 is right up your alley.

Out of those that you listed, which of these would produce more power lower in the RPMs? I have read all of the cam guides and everything like that on this site and even though I feel more knowledgable, I still feel very ignorant about the entire subject. My ears are very keen to the T-Rex...it sounds simply amazing. But I am curious if it could be used easily for a daily driver (what is its optimum power range?) by simply advancing the timing? Man...I've got a lot to learn
