Define streetable. And 90% of the time, its the tune. Have a good lsx tuner do the work, then yea, it can be. Gears/stall help also. Gas mileage will be affected though with that big of a cam. What are the specs again?

243/249 610/615 on a 110 LSA

And yes Trex cammed cars can be very streetable.

If your a m6 put at least 4.10 gears in.

If auto put I think at lest 4000 stall, and most likely 3.73 gears

As posted above, its all in the tune

Similar to the cam I am going with....242/248 on a 111. In shitty AZ air, with stock gears, cheap *** headers, and stock heads, a local car went 115 with it. With my ls6 heads and 4.10s, it should be a beast.

I wouldnt even consider a cam that big for a DD personally...and I would try to drive a pro stocker on the street.

You would need a good stall and steep gears to DD it and make it driveable in stop and go traffic, on top of a helluve tune. I would say 4.10's for gears and maybe even 4.56's with a stick.

My opinion.

I don't recommend it but I have plenty of customers who drive a TRex daily. With your setup, I would recommend our RapTR cam which is a 236/242 .620/.620 111 LSA. It would work much better with your 3600 stall.

Thanks,
Shane

i run an ms4 on a 111 lsa with stock 3.46 gears and a 3500 convertor(1.77str). I have been tuning it and it is perfectly streetable. O yea and im in a gto so im slightly heavier. It runs exactly the same as my last setup. 224/afr/3000(2.5str). I havent touched the heads yet. Im gonna be milling them and tweaking them to flow some good numbers soon but mainly want the compression since it helps a lot with a big cam and will make a good amount more power
