I can answer the streetability of TP in general, but you might consider how your existing setup will match the TP heads and intake. For instance, what cam are you running? What CR? WHat rear-end gear? WHat type of transmission?

I run TP w/ 2x4 mech. sec. 750 Holleys. Cam is .580 lift w/ a lot of duration. 9.6 CR. 3.54 rear w/ CR top-loader. IMHO, car is quite streetable running this setup. It will never idle at 800 rpm or sit in traffic all day, but that is OK w/ me.

THe single-plane TP intake is not going to give you alot of low-end power, but the torque of the engine and light weight of the car makes up for it.
