Mark, i will be running a 2.75 low Hipster 400( i know , i know , hehe) to get me goin , for awhile, my current transmission is standard low gear... and i have 2 Ati 8'' converters, one of which will be restalled, as they are flashing about 4200, behind 455 engine. That is with 4.10 gears. I have to put the car on a little diet to get it down to 'E' weight...with me , the car is about 80lbs over(3540-3550 on starting line), im about 60 of it. Got to get it down to 3470.
Ive considered running F, all i have to do is add about 80lbs in a weight box.
Im not running shubecks or smith machine lifters, at this time. Im running the Lunati lifter, and Comp Springs, about 140 on the seat. I will see what i have, and down the road, when i change cams, i may have a set of Shermans done up...little leary of the ceramic bottom lifters...It woudnt hurt my feelings if they outlawed them...
