Yes, this is about Cams
224R cam is the cam in question. I'm also doing Long tubes, 3" ORY, Patriot Stage 2.5 Heads w/ clean up mill, and upgrade to 3.42 gears from the 3.23. the heads are ported and polished w/dual valve springs and titanium retainers, etc.
Is this a good cam to go with since its my Daily Driver and I'm staying with my stock stall converter for awhile?
Whats some numbers for guys with a similar set up?

Its a good cam. Personally, I would go with a 228ish cam. Daily driving it would be no problem imo. Its all about the tune. There are quite a few dyno graphs with a brief mod run down list found here. It might help you out.
Edit: didn't see your wanting to stay with a stock stall. I don't think I would even run a 224 with stock stall. Frost (tuner here) once said he wouldn't even attempt tuning a car if it was on stock stall. Granted, I don't remember what size cam he was referring to.

On a 113 or 114 if you are daily driving it.

Yes its true an A4 will eat up more of your power before it gets to the ground. Like said before a 224 would be a great DD cam. However you wont see the gains you want without getting a stall as well. I am alos looking to getting a DD cam. I myself have an A4 but since im away for school right now i've just been ordering mods as fast as money will allow me to. I've been in a couple cars with cams and no stall and it sucks. So far I have my LT's, H pipe, 2 cut outs, 8 ft of piping, 3000 stall, and more to come.

wait until you can get the stall.....not worth the headache. If you have to choose.....choose the stall first.

lol well I know a stock stall is around 1800 rpm. I will probably end up getting an aftermarket stall sometime, but I'm going to have 3650 dollars spent on this head/cam/gears/headers install. I'm also in school, so money does not come in bunches. I was hoping to get all the engine stuff done now. The came of course I'm looking at is the TR224 on a 114lsa. I was hoping until I could get the money together I would still be able to drive it as is.
Would a 2600 stall be okay? I would like to stay as close to stock drivability as possible.
EDIT: Okay didn't see the happy face before I posted.... would the stall stated above be okay?

I have pretty much the same heads with a 228r and a 3500 1.9str fuddle and could easily daily drive it if I had too. I would get at least a 3200 stall but would prefer a little more than that even. I'm telling you though...don't do all that work and try to drive it on the stock stall.

I''m not looking for an all out race car. Just a nice street monster If/When I decide to open it up. It took a lot of people to tell me I'm wasting my time if I go with a cam smaller than a 224 to even think about going that big. Originally I was looking at a 218/224 comp cam or a 216/220
