Well title pretty much speaks for itself, I am finally making the change from highway 2.73 gears to an Eaton TrueTrac with 3.70 gears in my 9" for some more umph! My car is a '72 Convertible with a mildly built 357c and a FMX.
Made 270 rwhp on the dyno with the old carb running crappy, hopefully closer to 300 now.
More motor specs if interested:
Holley Sniper EFI
Bored 30 Over
Powerheads Aussie 2v Closed Chamber
KB 30cc Dished Hyper Pistons
Comp Cams Hydraulic Roller 0.566 in lift, 270 int/exh duration, operational range 1800-5000
Comp Cams Valvetrain Roller rockers etc
Edelbrock Performer Intake
Doug's Headers
Looking to have a car that I can daily to work, but still reach the 12's at the strip. Do you guys think it is a necessity to get a higher rpm torque/stall converter to go along with the gears? Seems like everyone is at a crossroad concerning this subject, whether they are other forums online or guys I've asked in person.
Thinking a 2500 rpm stall speed, but someone I spoke with said it made their car a pain to drive daily and recommended an 1800...
What do you guys think? Any help is appreciated, let me know if I forgot to include any info!
Thanks,
Adam
