You have a ton of options...to narrow it down what are you looking for? A fast street car, a track only car, a peppy daily driver? Do you want a rough idle or stealth idle? How much HP ar you looking for and will you be installing other supporting mods? What is your budget...?

As far as bang-for-the-buck Texas Speed is tough to beat. I am about to order the 5.3l stg 2.5s with a custom cam spec'd to my application by PatrickG and ground by Thunder Racing.

cant go wrong with a 224/224 cam!! definitely one of the best daily driver street cams.
