just requires lots of tunning and also making sure that you are running the right valvetrain .
and some required valve adjustment so often

From what I hear it's not too smooth in the streets, cause it like to be driven hard in order to run smoothly. "Too radicle for daily driver", so I've been told.

From what I read, pretty much every cam is streetable with the right tuning. Maybe the VTEC killers might be the only ones I would be scared of..lol

Spec Cs are fine for the street. In August it will be 2 years that I have been driving with them every day...

C's are just as streetable as B's. They are fine if you can deal with the slightly lumpier idle.

It depends on what color your car is...FBP ITR's can beat topfuel dragsters and still be daily driveable. PY ITR's spontaniously explode....and yeah, what color is your car?

If you tune it just right, you can get rid of that lump for the most part. Mine idles more deep than it does lumpy...

yah, the c's and b's have hte same primary lobes so they are equally as streetable. If you tune right, you won't get a lumpy idle. All you'll get is alot of valve noise

I don't think he meant "safe" as in safety. Relax, you're hurting my eyes.
