a 228-232 cam would be ideal for a daily driver. just mill 317 heads .030 to bump compression and youll be a happy camper exceeding your goals.

have a 236/242 .585 lift comp cam, makes 400/400 to the tires with an ls6 intake/799s/stock tb/stock maf and drives like a baby, as well as being super low maintenance with pac beehives.
