Default Cam Recommendation

I need a recommendation for a cam. I am planning on using a 3500 converter, 3.42s, long tubes, borla mufflers, K&N air filter, pocket ported heads and hopefully an LS6 intake. This is my daily driver. Someone told me the gm hotcam would do. What do you guys say, considering my mods?

The TR220 or TR224 on a 114 LSA would be good choice for a daily driver A4. The GM Hot Cam can work with tuning but it is on a 112 LSA (rough idle with an A4) that is better suited for an M6. :cheers:

Thunder Racing makes the cams. They are a vendor, just click on the link on the side and they have a number of custom cams
