With the 3.55 gear I figure it'd be nice to move some torque lower in the rev range. I never go above 5K and rarly do I go that high. Most cruising I do is 3000-4500 and I usually shift at 4k. I've been thinking about mods for a bit better milage and more low end torque, seeing I'm now loosing ~500 rpm at any given mph in 4th. I considred going from 30mm chokes to 28's but the car runs pretty good like it is.
I still have the 7.5 dish pistons in this engine. The head has been cut but I don't know by how much. So, I was thinking about a 1300 head with the smaller valves and ports. That should bump up my compression w/o having to cut the head and get special push rods. The smaller valves and ports should move my peak torque down lower and aid in better milage as well.
Peak cruise rpm should be around 4k and I'll probabaly still shift at that point. Most of the time I'll be at 2000-3500. Still considering the 28's with that head too.
