Is 300 hp/300 tq still streetable?

I also have a Corvette with over 350 horses and a lot more weight and it really moves. G forces and smoking tires sometimes scarey.
A 3800 will give you from 170hp to 205 hp depending on model year. The supercharged version from 205 to 250.
A North Star around 300hp. good choice
A Corvette with the mid 90s engines are also around 300 + hp but the North Star is more popular with the Fieros.
Think about the trans compatability also.
