If we say no, are you going to put the car back together? 
Seriously, the streetability will depend on the tune. I think quite a few guys have managed to tune cars with similar cams, into what could easily be a daily driver.

I drove that car to work and back every day for 6 months. I didn't have any trouble with it at all, LOVED the powerband on it too! Make sure to get some tuning and you'll be just fine.

THats close to mine and I have NO tune and could use the car as a daily, but I have a 'little' truck for that. Only had problems with idle after the install, but after the PCM got used to the large duration, it idles like a champ and sounds severaly pissed off! 
But you should have problems with that cam a good tune. A friend of mine has an even bigger cam and just got a tune and he drives it almost everyday and has no problems at all.

jk...once you get a tune it should be fine...even mine with an auto & 2.73's isnt bad...just have issues once the tc locks up with the car bucking because of where the rpms are at that point...in that case im just bumping up the lockup speed though.
