I reckon it is a very streetable cam, especially with heads. I'm putting one in with slightly higher lift on the intake lobe, very soon

Thats a nice street cam, but just make sure you might wanna go a little bigger, like 228, so you dont regret it, i have a tsp 228r 114ls1 and i love it, it wont sound stock it thats what your going for, but its great for a daily driver

thats the exact cam I'm thinking of getting and I have a thread labled streetable heads/cam in which I've been trying to figure out the best combo for streetability and power gains and I believe I'll be very happy with this combo...

That cam will have GREAT street manners....should have a relatively smooth idle and it should make a good bit of low to mid range power in addition to the gains up top.

Blue- 2002 Z28 Camaro M6
The OP's cam choice is a little smaller then mine and has a 114 LSA instead of a 112. I have found mine to be extremely streetable. My car usually sees at least 1000 miles a month and is my DD. Only bit of trouble I get sometimes is on a cold start and I just need to let it idle till it settles (usually less then a minute). Should be a great street cam, the heads might affect your gas mileage, but with the cam alone I have not noticed any change in my MPG except for that I like to use a heavy foot more often because it is just fun now
