200 block
250 head w/ large log intake modified with a Holley 5200 direct mounted. Also had sixty thousandths taken off.
1.6 rockers
Split headers w/ the port divider and cherry bombs
Running a 68 distributor with pertronics but thinking about switching to a DUI
3.20 gears in rear end
2200 stall converter with a stage 2 kit freshly rebuilt tranny. Thinking it's a 71 or a 72 tranny. Currently I shift at 5000 rpm.
I have a lot of pull in first gear, but after shifting into second I feel like I loose a lot power.I know it's hard to say without a dyno but I'd like more power in the 3500-4500 rpm range. I might be talking crazy, but from my understanding with a higher thank stock stall converter I can sacrifice some lower end torque with higher end power. Can someone educate me specific to my application what would be best? I know it depends on what I want exactly.. I do drive it on the street quite a bit but I'd like better times. My last question is; how exactly do camshafts hurt drive ability on the street? I've heard people say to stay away from radical cams in street cars and I've heard from others it's one of the best things to do for power.
