My cam is custom grind and specs are 588/622 and dur @ .050 is 246/259. It is very streetable as long as your tuned good. I idle between 775-850 rpms. Granted i dont drive it that often becuase i only get 6 mpg [:@]. And i'm carbed.

well id like it to be streetable..its not a weekend or track car. technically its my DD cuz i only have one car. but i prob only drive it 3 times a week. especially now with the 408 and gas prices lol. but id like for it to be able to idle at a light and drive on hte highway and still pack a punch.
