Default Cam Opinions!!!

I'm wanting to do a cam swap in my T/A. I am considering a few options, I want a mean lopey idle but I don't want a cam that is going to stall out at every light and surge at anything under 2,000 RPM. The F15 "Ron Jeremy" at .600"/.611" lift and 236"/239" @0.50 with a 111 lsa was one of my first picks, but I'm not sure of how tame it could be on the street. Futral also has another cam that catches my eye, at .598"/ .598" lift and 232"/234 @0.50 on a 114 lsa. Comp has a Xtreme RPM cam with .571"/.573" lift and 228"/230" @0.50 on a 112 lsa that doesn't sound to god awful to go with. This car is going to be mainly driven on the street with track passes in there as well, but it's not a "daily driver" either. I'm confused I know what I want but I don't know how to get there with a blue million cam options to choose from. Any help is appreciated

I had a 228/232 .612/.600 111. It could easily be daily driven. No issues (LS2) I now went to a 236/240 .631/.610 111. Its a bit less friendly.

I put the F-15 in my '69. Had a nice sound That's probably what I'll go with again when I build my next '69. Either that one or a Trex.
