if your gonna daileyt drive than g et the lt4 or cc305-306.. if you get the lt4 you wont needd to change valve springs b ut the bigget the cam the bigger the spring youll need. normally the cc306 will need valve spring replacement at 20k miles. up to you but power wont be that much of a loss with the lt4.

the beehives will prolly run you around 250-300 for everything you need. If you go with the 503 you will want to get the springs(dont need beehives for the 503, would be fine with the Crane 10308-1 kit and its cheaper) 1.6 roller rockers(pro mag are best) hardened pushrods, possibly lifters depending on how many miles are on your car, timing chain and gaskets and you should be good to go.

There is little good information being presented here, getdrugtoday seems to be on drugs in particular.

Given the way the question was asked I have to assume you have done almost no research, keep reading and in a year look at the project again.

it all depends on your definition of "daily driver" and "wont break down". any cam with supporting valvetrain, fuel delivery, head, intake work and a good dyno tune can be daily driven.

maybe if you give us some more "requirements"?
