Default LS7R cam and driveability

Hey guys I was wondering if any LS7R camed car owners can give me some feed back on driveability. It's a big cam I know that, but is driveability awful or is it workable? I'm more about the max effort style offering which is why it caught my attention but I want something I can let my dad drive or not want to drive off a cliff if I do city driving with traffic... Can anyone with this cam provide input. Not looking at other setups or options. Specifically interested in your experience with this cam first hand.

Thanks in advance guys!

My cam is similar, a little bigger 250/252 .652 113+4 but the drive-ability is going to be in the tune. I can use 6th @11-1200 with no issues and minimal bucking and surging unless you just let the rpms get too low. I haven't had any parking lot speed issues and driveability is actually pretty good but you will need a good tune.
