Lol.....not another "what about this cam" question!! OK, car will have TEA St. 2 5.3 heads, LS6 Intake, Hooker LT's, 3" true duals w/x-pipe, bullets, and turn downs before the rear axle, stock rear end w/3.42's for the time being, RAM 6130/402 combo, and eventually a 12-bolt with either 4.10's or 4.30's, haven't decided yet. I will also have tuning done after I finish the install.
The cam I have been tossing around in my head reads like this: 228/228 .588/.588 110 LSA 106 ICL
I really like the tighter lobe separation, as it will bring the peak power down, and that combined with the 106 ICL should give a bunch of torque all over the place. I never plan to spray this motor, so that's why I came up with numbers like this.
So, what do you guys think?

Re: Lol.....not another "what about this cam" question!! With the 110 lsa, and the 106 icl, it really shouldn't be that bad with the 3.42's for the time being.
Check out this post with a guy running a somewhat similar cam, just a lil smaller, on stock heads, making extremely impressive power, and even more torque! He's making over 350 ft. lbs. of torque at 2500 rpm's!

Re: Lol.....not another "what about this cam" question!! Really? You'd suggest a 108 LSA for a car that's going to be driven on the street everyday? I have no problem going to 232! 
How would all this affect my powerband? And what about P to V clearance? The heads will be milled .030.

So this is what's been going on in that sick head of your's huh B? LoL If it wasn't already, should be a BEAST when this is through with. What kind of timeframe we looking at?
As for a recommendation, I'm not going to make one, because you know that I don't know enough to give you an accurate answer

Re: Lol.....not another "what about this cam" question!! Good point. So how bout the same cam on a 111 LSA and on a 108 ICL? Would that make it a lil more useable?
Re: Lol.....not another "what about this cam" question!! I wouldnt worry about off idle torque. Its not that hard to slip the clutch from 2500 rpms.
Sounds like you want the midrange torque of DAB's cam with a little more topend. The cam specs you named should do it.
Id love to see a max effort combo with 1 7/8" headers, 12.5:1 compression, and 106 LSA cam with lots of duration to rev to 7200rpms.

Re: Lol.....not another "what about this cam" question!! The 3.42's are just a temporary thing anyway, just until I get my 12-bolt. I was just wondering what it's going to be like for the short time I have them.
