Default Daily driver cam?

im thinking of getting this cam 250/258@50 580/580 lsa108 for my 416ci motor would you consider that a daily drivable cam, why or why not?

Magic Stick V.3 237/242 .603/.609"

Is what I'm running in a DD car, tune should be next week as the car is at the exhaust shop, ticket for being to loud...

Stock disp this set up is making 450 to the wheels all over the board (with a set of heads), not sure what the specs or how they would help/hurt a 416cid motor.. I can tell you this cam doesn't make any low end though... Mid range is only barely there.

That's a pretyt big cam for a DD. You didn't say want heads you are running. That will make a huge difference.

Thats a bunch of duration and overlap, for not much lift. Why so small on the lift? Why so much overlap? Probably be miserable to drive.

Lots of good info in this thread on a strong daily driver type 403/L92/L76 build. You may be surprised by the final cam size.
