So which cam is DD streetable and has a good "rumble" to it?

I'd like to upgrade and get more power also, but it's my DD and I need it to be very DD friendly. MS3-4?

I have a mainly strip car that I do drive once or twice a week sometimes, I will drive it more in the spring/summer months. I have a cam similar in size to the T Rex(239/247 110 lsa) and it sounds downright nasty. That being said, a cut-out added to your current exhaust set-up would probably give you the sound you want. My car just has 5" extensions off the collectors with vibrant turbo mufflers so it's even louder. I never notice the lack of power down low with this big of a cam, but that's because I have a 5000 stall and 4.10's. It really could actually use more gear like a 4.30 or 4.56 even. That being said I am spraying down the house soon so I'll be going to a tighter stall (4000-4200ish) and a set of 3.89's or 3.73's. It should make it more streetable and fun to drive over 50-55 mph.

Streetable is all in the owner and what you can deal with and put up with. Honestly I love it when I fire my car up outside the gas station or in front of a Wendy's and the whole restaurant pours outside looking for the top fuel dragster only to see my car.
