Pretty much! On an LS1/6 this cam will be dead down low ie under 3000 rpms and there are other factors involved that affect power band other than the cam. IMO, there's way too much overlap for a street car with this cam. However, everyone has mentioned how subjective streetable is and that's very true. You have to look at the total drive train and you're driving style. So what's the rest of the drive train look like on your car? What do you want power wise? I'm not referring to just the amount of power but where you want your power. What other engine mods, if any, do you have currently?
An example of a cam that I really like for all around street performance on an LS1/6, is a 228/232 on either a 112 or 114 depending on auto or manual trans. This was ground on Comp's XER lobe grind but they have changed their grind names so I'm not sure what new name corresponds. To me, this cam worked great on a stock LS1/6 with simply headers, exhaust, and normal gearing(ie mid to low 3.0s) but also would only get better with more mods like heads and intake. It was a simple off the shelf grind that works well for a street car. Nothing fancy or exotic. It just worked.
