Default how does all this sound?

Thunder Racing Custom "Reverse Split" Camshaft - 227/224 .569/.563 114 LSA (This cam will check in the 226 range on the intake lobe.) 2200-6800 RPM Power Band. Excellent mid-range & high RPM power. Automatic cars require computer tuning and it is recommend for optimum results on manual transmission cars. Better piston/valve clearance than 230/224 cam for applications using heavily milled heads and/or larger than stock valves. Slightly smoother idle than 230/224 cam. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended.


Comp 918s, New double roller timing chain, and ported oil pump

Is this a good setup for an almost daily driver meaning sometimes it goes 50 miles in one day and 0 for the next 3? Will this setup give me good gains on stock heads? If anyone thinks there is a better cam choice, LET ME KNOW ill check it out.

it should be fine. but i would just run the 224/224 cam since it seems like you want something for a daily driver and still give you a good power gain with no loss of drivability..
