It's not my daily driver but I would have no drivability issues if I did. Handles city traffic just fine even with the air on. 222/228 .551/.551 115.

I would go with a 224/224 .581/.581 or if you want a little more the Vengeance VRX3 226/228 .585/.588 I have seen really good results from both and they are both very streetable for a daily driver.

I've got the speed inc SI007 reverse split 228/222 .588 lift 113lsa (I hope those are right, it's been a while since I've looked at the specs) has a small lope to the idle but still drives great. Very rarely though the idle will search and it won't cruise under 25mph you gotta keep working the clutch. probably mostly from my tune since it was mail order.

216/220 113 113 will not hurt your mileage too badly. Have it idle at 650 - 700 rpm and it will sound mean.

I would also stay in the 224 range. I went with a 224/230 on a 114. Suprisingly, it has a very good sound to it, especially if the cutout is open. Puts down good numbers and even though its not a dd, I wouldnt be afraid to get in it and take off.
