Default fms f4 cam fo rdaily driver?

im swapping out my 265k 5.3 for a newer one. i want a lil more bump so im thinkin of a cam and lt's.a freind suggested the futal motorsports-fms f4 226/226. 575/575 either 112 lsa or 114 lsa. im wondering if this would be a good cam for a daily driver and if i should o 112 lsa or 114 lsa. any advice is appreciated.

Seems a little big for a daily. You would probably want a bigger converter too.

That cam's way too small for a 5.3...I wouldn't go with anything smaller than mid 230's duration at the minimum

J/K A little big for a daily for my taste...

When did Thunder Racing go out of business? This is the first that I've heard of this

Yes, it's a Thunder Racing cam, and no, they are still in business (in your city, by the way).
