Default Best cam for 91 oct

I am in the search for more power, I was thinking of getting a cam that will be best with 91oct and good street manners since she is my Daily driver. The car has ARH long tubes and a off road xpipe.

You're obviously not worried about state inspections, because you're illegal in a couple of areas. Not judging, because I live in the proverbial "glass house" in the legal dept. On 92 oct., which is what we have here, I got a cam that boosted the DCR to almost 8.6, and never got any KR, so I'd say your field is pretty open for cam choice. The 228-232 @ 112 sure served me well, but I also have TF heads.

G5X1E...good power and street manners, and it will pass the smog sniffer test on a properly tuned car if that ever became an issue.
