451 stroker rear gears question

Holy Mackerel Matty, 7,000 rpm with the XE285HL? That cam will make peak horsepower @ 5,600-5,800 rpm, maybe even less. If you flash to 4,500-4,800 rpm you will already be above the engines peak torque plus you've only got a 1,000-1,200 rpm pull before it's time to shift. Even Comp cams recommends a 3,000 rpm stall. You could try the tires first, they're the easiest and the 3.23 gear should be no problem on the street or track.

thats exactly what happens in first by the time the converter locks up it screams its head off and im into 2nd and then im going into 3rd in no time but not really going anywhere in a hurry,i think the converter slips too much and the gears are too low ,thats why im thinking the 3.23s might feel better cause the engine will stay in its torque/rpm band a little longer,is it possable to have too short of gears in a quick reving stroker big block??
