Mine is daily driven, year-round. I've got a 221/221 cam in it, and it drives like stock. In fact, I'd like to have a bigger cam in it. If you're buying a new cam, I'd say go at least 224R, any smaller and you won't pick up much of a gain. But don't go too big if it's a daily driver. It all comes down to you, and what you think is "driveable."

I used to DD my car TR 230/236 cam. I never had any issues I just decided to drive my truck more to keep mileage off the SS. Stop and go driving is kind of a pain and I would recomend a 224 or 228 cam for DD.

I took over a year to decide on my set-up & I have no intentions of goin any bigger. I'm just gonna wait for this shortblock to go out then go forged 347 & nitrous on these same heads & cam. That should put me in the low 11's with a good rear & tire. And personally thats plenty for me to be happy with & be competitive on the street/track.
Not to mention the great drivability & lighter wear on the valvetrain from the smaller cam.

). It really comes down to personal preference. I dont think my car drives much different that stock around town other than the clutch is a little heavy (3+ in it now).William
