The tune is going to play a large part in the DD part, that plus what you are willing to put up with in a DD. I could live with daily driving mine.

Its all in the tune, The T rex.MS4 MS3 etc are all big cams but with the right tuner they can be made daily drivers if that what your after.
I would also suggest a more aggressive gear, but thats just my oponion.
I really like the Torquer 3 myself.

Are all these big cams being DD in stock cube cars, or 408's, 383's...? Big difference between a 408 and a 346......

I have an MS3 in a 382 with an auto trans. The car can be driven daily it takes alittle time warming up and idling when it's first started. You have an M6 it should be no problem. With the auto it will sometimes try to stall after idling in traffic or load up at low speed driving. I drove this cam with a 3.42 rear gear and it was fine. I've since upgraded to a 4.11, this is to much gear for an auto. This cam will rev up fast and makes good power. The idle RPM is around 900. You might try a MS4 too make more low end Torque

I can DD my car and it has a not so great tune on it. Hell, I drove the car for a while with the factory tune on it and the MS3. Nothing like driving around in a newer body style car and having it sound like an old muscle car. You get lots of looks from everyone. In other words, you'll love it.

MS4 is suppose to have a better botton end that the MS3. I DD a MS4/A4 no problems. You really need feedback from the 6-speed crowd.

I could easily daily drive my ms4 with M6 and 3.42 gears and mine is a 110lsa. It has just a little more bucking than my tsp 231/237 i had and its only below 1300 rpms.
