I have no complaints...drive 75 miles per day round trip, when it's not raining.

I have borla atak as well. If my car sounds anything like that I will be more than happy. Sweet sounding monster you’ve got there

Honestly for a daily driver staying under 230 will help and you only give up ~20hp. The Vengeance Stage II VSRP at 227/235 .614/.621 115+4 doesn't buck at parking lot speeds and still makes 460-470rwhp on a bolt-on car. It has a nice chop and shakes the car at stop lights old muscle car style...JMHO

I always recommend staying below 230* intake duration on a daily. 227-229* intake duration is a great compromise of power and driveability.

I have the 231 236 on 111 from TSP. I love it but its not a DD. It does surge at 1400, but my tune from Pat G makes it a lot better! I can cruise in 6th gear no problem at low speed. I maybe should have gone with the 235 239. Its a bit hardcore for a DD but totally ok.

Ill go with what other say; 229 236 on 112 would be a better choice for a DD, if your going with a TSP cam.

Dont look back, go for the 235 239! Get a nice tune. It makes a big difference.

From the research I have done, everyone who has the stage 4 235/239 cam absolutely loves it and has no problems so I am eagerly awaiting installation and tuning now

I typically find Drivability is more a factor of the tune vs the cam itself. I have driven cars with a TSP stage 4 cam that run better than a poorly tuned mild cam car simply because of the tune being off.

My cam specs are in my sig. My car isn't a DD, so I don't mind the parking lot speed bucking. For a weekend cruiser, the lope and exhaust note are sinister. Add in the entire car shaking at red lights and it's a joy, but if the car was a DD...no way. JMHO.

A modern car that shakes too much, better have a bite that matches its bark, or it will look completely silly being beaten, or evenly matched, by a silky smooth running, say a new Civic whatchamacallit, and/or even them new electric cars.



Just sayin'

I'm looking to get a custom cam with similar specs, why doesn't it make a good DD? By the way car sounds awesome what's the idle set at?

I have the 235/239 on a 112. No issues here, drives ok, has some bucking below like 1300 rpm. Made 480/433 with just headers, cam kit, and a k&n cai.

There's always something faster, and a cam with some overlap adds character to the driving experience
