daily driver, intended use, what kind of powerband are you looking for, are you going to tow anything, do you want it to lope or have a smooth sleeperish idle, do you have plans on a higher stalling torque converter? all things needed to be answered before looking for a cam.

Its a daily driver for now. I plan on putting a stall later on down the line when i quit driving it as much, i dont tow anything and id like it to lope hard i love the sound!! I have 410's so i am ok off the line, i just want it set up for the 1/4 mile pretty much street racing.

I looked on youtube and found these but idk if it would be a good idea for a dd or factory heads?

Does it lope hard like the vids i posted or is it quiet? (the tr220-112lsa) I have no clue about cams obviously. I just want it to sound great and do good in the 1/4

X3 on the TR220 with 112lsa. It'll lope pretty good around 650-700rpm idle, I had one in my ext cab in my sig just decided to go bigger with the stall I have. If you search TR220 you'll find idle clips.
