kinda long but bare with me, this is my real life experience and why i say keep it closer to stock for the street.
closer to stock cams will be better suited for street then such cams of the likes 272. as mentioned already larger cams, bigger cams, whatever you want to call it, its nature is that is will shift power and torque to later rev range, meaning power at top end, sucks for the street until you hit the sweet spot which then it starts going.
random night drive with another fellow AE86 owner. His 16v is possibly the best one going on the street no doubt so far, has all the work inside out. me on the other hand, even though my 16v was a JDM bigport, im going to say it was stock internally and pretty sure it was, but with the right combination of stuff to get the engine revving harder then stock, light flywheel, better diff ratio etc.
around the touge you can really see where both cars had pros and cons considering both of us i believe had similar driving style, we weren't being shy that night. anyway the only time his car pulled away was when there was a long enough straight for him to go past 5000rpm im guessing, but anything before 5000 rpm even on the straight road i would actually be gaining distance on him, but then VTEC kicks in and i watch him pull away, but by that time the next corner had come up and i would be sitting on his rear bar again. On short note, he couldnt use his power to an advantage on the street. On a track i wouldn't be able to keep up no doubt, his car is so much better on paper i wouldn't expect anything less, but on the street where being on the absolute limit is nearly impossible. Near stock has its own advantage big time.
ive also driven a mild toda spec 16v 4age, toda pistons, toda flywheel, toda cams (264/272 if i remember correctly), toda ECU. it went hard but only after 5000rpm. down low it was ok for street driving, but put your foot down, dont expect it to pull like a stocker, but when it comes on song, its worth the wait
