Are all these cams that were recommeded good for drivability? I drive the car 50 miles every week or 2 weeks. I want a good streetable cam.

Yeah they're streetable.

Ok one last question? What about and F cam with the stock bottom end? Is that overkill on the motor and transmission?

FWIW I drive an E-cammed stock block about 200 miles per week with no problems.

Another E-cam guy here,like Preston,and Matt said,they're plenty streetable.I would'nt recommend using an F-cam on a stock Converter,and definately not with the stock valve springs!(unless you AFR ones are rated for that much lift!)

I like a loopy idle that really talks to you. Will the E really talk to you?

It's got a noticeable choppy idle,I've even got mine advanced by 4* to lower my powerband,and you can tell it's not a stock cam.

It's not gonna make anyone drool or freak out, but you can tell it's cutting up decent.

Mine is set at 14* base timing btw

Same here on the ignition timing,the cam timing is what I have advanced,I forgot to clarify on that!
