Is this cam too big for street?

There is a cam I want, but I'm afraid it will be too big to be streetable. Specs as follows.

236/242 @ .050; .579/.576 lift; and 108+4 LSA.

Engine will be a 350 LT1 with LE2 heads, ported intake, LT headers, true duals w/ no cats, 3.73, and 3600 stall.

I still drive this car quite a bit on the street, so I want to make sure that this cam isn't too big.

Was is your LSA? Also, is your cam through Lloyd...or did you get it separately?

It's big, but your converter is loose enough that you should be OK.

It all depends on your idea of streetable.

By streetable I still need to car to be able to sustain 60-70mph at about 2600RPM for an hour at a time and enough vacuum to stop the car. I realize the cruise will be with the convertor locked up...but I still don't want to be so far out of the powerband that my car can't hold it's own.
