Hands down a cam and a great choice. My buddy has this cam and loves it. Never mentioned anything about the driveability.

yes - we know it's a cam............. (WTF???)

i had that cam in my old car... it was cut on a 110lsa, and was plenty driveable. it was a 6spd car with a spec3 clutch. if i got lazy with the clutch going around turns, it would occasionally die... but other than that, it idled, and drove GREAT!!! so if you get it on a 112 or a 114, it should idle great and never stall out - provided the tune is good.

oh yea - it makes a ton of power.

Again, your 'streetability' will be in the tune. Some DD HUGE cams with "no issues".
A good tune just takes time...if you are rushed by a tuner, you will never be happy. The more radical the cam, the more time it takes to dial in.

I have heard nothing but things about the LG cams. Just remeber that the bigger the duration, the higher that cam will want to rev to make power. I am preparing to install a G5X1 in my car...well, it is a custom grind, but the same specs more or less. I cannot wait!

Good luck!
