What do you consider good drivability? Are you wanting a nice lope or something a little smoother? Are you needing to pass emissions? Give us a little more info, and we'll be able to help you out better.

I'd recommend the Thunder 220-114. I actually run the 224-112 but I don't run nitrous and I hear you want a 114 if you're going to spray. You could use the 224-114 if you want a little more top end power. Both will work well with stock heads.

just like what OBSSSD 220-114 should be a good cam for your setup! or since you are going to spray 218/224 .528/.535 114 this one is even better(more effective for N2O)

there is no such a good cam! you have to decide that yourself! big/small cam depends on your setup, and the way you want your car to be! if you can provide more ideas about your setup/car, we could help you with that!
good luck
