Streetable is dependant on the person. I have full bolt-ons, P&P'd heads/intake, GTP-6 cam, 3200 stall, yada yada and I find it very streetable. Barely any surge...especially after a good tune. It's very loud as I have LT's, no cats and a flowmaster catback.
Gas mileage? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAafkwfjoei
Yeah....that's the only downside. Actually I'm surprised that I'm still getting fairly decent mileage since I'm still getting close to 300 miles on a tank with mostly freeway driving...some stop and go.

i had the le1 package, i like my stuff aggressive, and personally i wouldn't want any bigger of a cam on a daily driver. my next cam is in the 23x 24x duration, but car is going to be a weekend driver.
i had le2 heads and le1 cam.
6 speed on stock gears.

Injectors are SVO 30# but will be upgraded again shortly.
I have no idea but for some reason before I put in my Walbro 340 I could only get ~15 gallons or less in the car. After I put it in I can get almost 17.5 gallons in....I know the casing around the stock pump doesn't displace 2 gallons so I don't know WTF happened although I've read other folks experiencing the same thing after dropping their tank and replacing the pump.

what is this "6-speed" you speak of surely it can not be better than an automatic. yeah 6 speed would help alot but i guess it depends on the car you to buy unless you want to spend a **** ton on swaping out an auto for it. i don't know i guess i'm just trying to justify the means.

my boat now has a t56 fun to drive factor went way up 
wow, I get about 220 +/- 30 (depends on my driving style) on 13.5 gallons. Couldn't ever stuff more than that in there. I'm really surprised you can stuff 4 gallons more than me. That must explain the extra gas mileage.
For overall streetability you can't beat a T56. If you know your way around under the car you can swap it yourself in about 18 hours. From what I've seen full conversion kits with all necessary parts can be found for around $1000. The only place you might wish you still had an auto is at the track but even then I would rather have a T56 than a 4L60E. A th400 however.....
