Default Cam pointers

I am currently building a 402, and I am looking to purchase a cam but I dont know which one to get, I was thinking somewhere around 228/232 600 lift 114lsa. I am looking for the car to be streetable but still give me the performance i want, the cam also has to be able to be tuned with a handheld tuner from vinci. any sugg?

If you want it to be very street friendly you might want to go with a little less duration than 248, im not too sure though how much it takes for a 402 to become unstreetable.

It really depends on the driver if it is streetable or not. Depends on how much you like to work on the car. :-)

won't get you the best results. it was designed for 346 motors. might get you idleing and running down the road until you can get further tuning. no gaurantees.

How about a compromise between those two:

234/238 .600/.610 110+2

I'm sure a better cam designer can critique this for me but plugging those specs in PianoProdigy's DCR spreadsheet seemed to produce valve events that would work on a 402.
