best dd cam? well i have a 98 ws6 but technically the car is my dads, he wants to keep it pretty much stock, but i want to go the way of a cam, what would help settle both our needs, i want power and he wants something that wont affect reliability or gas mileage much, any help? thx
I was going to recommend my cam. It's a fairly low duration/higher-lift cam. 222/222 at a .566"/.566" with a 112 LSA. It's a Comp Cams Extreme custom grind. I used to daily drive the car and you can only really tell it's cammed when I open the cutout.

i have a Comp Cam 224: 224/224 .581/.581 @112lsa and its a great under the curve power cam (not a peak #/dyno queen cam). It's pretty much the same specs as the TR224. Go with a 224 and you will be pleased...
Stick with a 224 grind of your choice. I prefer the 112LSA over a wider LSA. Bump the idle to 900-925rpms and it will purr with no driveability issues assuming a good tune is performed. My setup drives very much like stock but with alot more power. I DD the car alot during good weather.

i will recommend sheater cam in thunderracing its pretty good cam its well give u power all around the rpms like the 224 with slight decrease in low end torque but it has a stealth idle like factory. good luck

depends on your tolerance of a modded car...
I daily drive a TSP 233/239, its all in the tune though. It drives stockish once its warmed up lol. I went with a TR227 to start. It was an EXCELLENT daily driver cam...then i decided the driveability was TOO good. Went with the 233/239, and still wouldnt mind something a little bigger
