Just sayin'

I agree, in my line of thinking, first I need to get the car out of the hole, more gear, more converter, less internal trans weight, at this point I can deal with the first to second gear drop, but a 1.53 60 not going to get it done, theres lots more there. I believe a 4.10 gear could work in a 29.90 baro but I never see that. So with a 470 CU IN engine with head flow in the 220s @ 28" I think I'am going to concentrate on the heads and intake in that order after the short block is freshened with a modern ring pack.
