Everybody has a different definition of "streetable". What is streetable to someone is extreme to the other. Having said that, personally, that doesn't sound too bad as long as you feed her with high-octane gasoline. I am thinking that engine wouldn't run to its full potential on pump gas. Plus, you might need some bigger injectors if that combination runs up to its potential. Good luck.
If you drive it and it doesn't give you a lot of trouble or cost you an arm and a leg then I'd say it is plenty streetable 
I have a 400 rwhp Camaro that I drive 60 miles a day and it has yet to leave me stranded somewhere... that to me is very streetable for my own definition of what streetable would be.

. Taking what Brent said a little further...
If you carry tools and can fix it on the spot, its streetable. If you can't, it ain't. My car has been near-unstreetable a few times until I busted out my tools and made it streetworthy again...in the parking lot at school

I just bought the car last November and have not taken it to the track yet. He had the car dynoed at 510 rwhp i have yet to see the papers but i did the calculations on here and it came out to be about the same. He said he ran high 11's on street tires and 2.5 60' times. Do you think wiht drag radials and suspension setup this car could hit 10's?
Well you can't exactly say that you have an 11 second car unless YOU can drive it down the track in 11 seconds.
Beating around the bush will do you no good, take it to the track and find out for yourself....it's a lot cheaper than going to the dyno to get some #'s.

I would definitely take it to the track for a maiden voyage. Remember your E.T. is primarily a function of traction...Speed is your horsepower...if your making over 500 at the wheels you should have a killer trap speed...122-125ish...if thats what you get, then just dial in your suspension and save for a rear...good luck...
i'm not tryin to gloat by any means. there are tons of cars out there better then mine i was just tryin to get some input from those that know more about this stuff then i do...i wasn't tryin to **** anyone off
