Cam ok for DD??
Your gas milege is doing to drop thats for sure. But no cam is to big, it's personal preference. I know guys who put MS4 in their daily, would i do it? Probably not. In my opinion that cam in fine for a DD but i'm sure people will agree and disagree with me, depends on where you want power also. Up top, mid range?
You do not lose a ton of MPG with a cam, I have a 233/239 cam on STOCK heads and my hwy is still 27, I was at 30. When I get my heads and raise my compression I bet it will go up to 28. A MS4 can be a DD cam, its all in the tune.

If you have stock tune your gas milage can go up with a cam and a good tune. Mine did! I have 99 m6 Z28 with ful bolton's and 231/237 cam and my car is a true DD with 113,000 miles. The cam went i on 85,000 miles 
Stil as strong as the day i put it in Depending on how i drive i get anywhere from 15-29mph. My car gets driven way harder then most do. I think if you have a good tune your good to go. Hell my wife has only driven a manual trans about 20 times in her life and she can get in my car and drive it just fine thanx to the ls7 clutch.

daily drive my 233/233 cam. and the part throttle tune is pretty crappy...lots of surge both at idle and at certain rpms.
and even with a spec 4 clutch and light flywheel it's not bad around town.
and again, with the less than ideal part throttle tune...i've done many 600mile trips at 75-85mph and gotten 25-26mpg on stock gears
