Need streetable cam with my mods........ I have done some research, but there is so much info, that I thought I would ask the masses for a little help. I bought my ride from a dealer 6 months ago, and just ran into the original owner yesterday. Well, he told me the motor was basically stock, but had tons of other mods done, which I already knew. This is my daily driver, all city, within 2 miles each direction of my house. I shift between 3-4,000 rpm's as a general rule. I want something to make more power, mostly just bottom to mid range torque monster. Since most of my driving is short light to light, and I just love to have fun. Here are the mods already done:
Full headers
Y -tube with NO cats
Borla exhaust
BBK throttle body
SLP lid
SPec 3 clutch and billet flywheel
I can not afford to do LS6 heads right now. So I can cam it, and probably tune it too. What do you think would be the best cam? the next mod will be 3.73 or 4.10 gears.
Thanks in advance

My friend also ran a similar 224 cam and it had great street manners, as most mid-sized cams do. It's powerband was perfect for the street, street racing, and highway rolls. It's not too drastic, so Im sure some people will advise you to go bigger from the beginning instead of having to go back and do it again later. A bigger cam, and even the 224, would benefit very well from some 4.10s.
