Help on cam selection. Evo 8

So I read up on the forums and still can't deside what way to go. My big thing with cams is I drive my car every day. In and out if seattle wa. It is alot of stop and go some times. Almost any set of cams will make power. The car right now is set up for. Road raceing. Really looking for a good can that idles well. And drives well.

The current set up.
Stock 2L
BBK Full
Causeworth M3's
1mm over valves
GSC duel valve springs
Millspec 65mm throtal body
ID 1000
Upper and lower IC pipping
Big FMIC

I was considering gsc s1 or s2. And more leaning to s1 for drivability. And for the record I hate the M3 cams. Just not the right motor for such a big cam.

What do you guys think. And what cams should I be looking in to.

I'm DD'ing s3's rite now, def noticed a little more practice would be needed to drive them in stop and go but i got over it really quick. If I would you depending on your future goals, goal with s2's. From what i've read there is almost no change from stock cams to s2's driveability wise. GL with your choice.

I've got the S1's and have got no complaints. Simple driving around and you'd never know they're in there except for the noticeable bump in power over stock. However, every modification I've done to my car has been based primarily around keeping it a street car, not street/track. So I know I'm not putting down as much power as I could & and I'm alright with that. The question is, as always, what do you really want your car to be? Street, track, blend of both? If ya happen to be heading south for any reason & want some first hand experience let me know.

go with the S2's or the R2, which ever is now the stage 2 cam. you already stated its setup for road racing.
S2's have no affect on drivability, i have em and have daily with them. the only thing i got annoyed of is that it has a real lopey idle, rather loud as well.

I recommend the GSC S2s or the Kelford 272s. The Buschur/FP cams are good cams as well, but they are for more high HP cars. I think the Kelfords or the GSC cams will be your best bet.
