Default streetability

so i bought my 1998 trans am with a blown ls1. im about to buy a 1998 camaro wrecked for the motor and part out the rest of the car. but while im using that stock motor. i recently purchased an ls1 standard bore block ross 387 forged pistons, stock crank, and a set of 243 casting heads. im gonna order a set of H beam rods for a lil add'd protection, 85mm intake & throttle body. #38.8 injectors, a .563/.568 lift 112 lsa cam, decent set of rockers and a set of hardened 1 piece pushrods that im not sure what length they need to be. anyways im running all that with a 3000 stall and a set of 3:73 gears. can this be daily driven and what kinda mileage do yalls suppose ill get out of it? any other ideas will be greatly appreciated. and it will have a 150 shot on it but im not sure how much it will get used.

3,000 stall speed...what are the durations, @ .05, on that cam?

I daily drove my Z28 with 3500 stall speed converter and stock cam for over two years...and a 4,000 stall speed converter with an MS3 (.603/.609 237/242 on a 113) for a year and a half...and will be back to driving it daily in the summer.

"Streetability" varies from one person to another, just as opinions. To me, my car is definately daily drivable. A lot of other people couldn't take it. I don't understand why, but they probably don't understand why I would do everything I did to my daily car.

You don't want to know what kind of mileage a cammed/stalled LS1 gets around town. And if you do, modding isn't for you. I can still get 25 mpg on the highway, but around town.....10-12.
