Yes, it's very streetable.

To those that think the throttle is an Off/On switch, it's not. You have to learn to control the throttle at least in the first 2 gears and maybe even 3rd gear depending on the real HP and your tires/traction.

I have dual 4's on mine with mechanical secondaries. I can barely crack the secondaries in first before the tires break loose. Second gear I can get to about 1/4 throttle. Needless to say, you don't want to mash the throttle part way around a corner, or you will be going throught the woods backwards.

You will love the power and sound of a big block. Go for it, but realize you are going to have to learn how to drive it, and what the limits are. This may apply to both the car and yourself.

Enjoy.
