i guess it means that you could use it as a daily driver but it wouldnt be the best driving cam. what do you have and what kind of cam are you looking into?

i got a 5.3. im going with a 3000 stall pacesetter long tubes, 918 springs, underdrive pulleys and i have 3.73 gears. i chose a tr227 just cause of the price and it was bigger than the one i got now. if i were you i would go to the for sale section there is a thunder racing tr224 in there that you would love im sure.

its got a 114LSA so it would idle good. i would get that and get allen nelson to tune it for you and it will idle good. just get a converter or its not going to run good out the hole. i got a small cam now (212/218) comp 265hr and i only run a 2.3 60' because i dont have a converter right now but i got a 3000 on the way.

yeah sounds like something i can live with, and the good thing is that allan is only 3 hours away, he already did a dyno/ street tune on it
