Default Cam choice for 4.85spd?

I want a good cam that has good drivability. i have a 4.85spd with 4.10s. I need to be able to drive 2 hrs to futral to tune it. I want a good lope and a mid to high rpm cam. I would rather go a little less conservative too. not too much, but i want some hp. No old man cams!lol but anyway i drive it every day, so what do i need?? i need some advice!
thanks,
derek

TR220 112lsa should fit the bill with 4.10s and your manual would have a very nice lope and is less conservative than what most would recommend for DD but still useable for sure. 01Thunder has the TR224 in his and he drives it daily in an auto its ALL in the tune.

I was going to say 224 112. with the added power you may find 1st gear to be worthless with the 4.10's though.

Well i'm gonna tell ya the 4.10's are gonna be a definite over kill, as will the cam and everything else if your still a peg leg. I only had intake/exhaust/W4Me Tune and my truck was worthless for racing. Couldn't nail 1st w/o spinning, couldn't grab 2nd without having to baby it and lose time. And that's with my 3.73, the 4.10's are gonna be hell on your tires.
