Heads Help!

Do you think you would be willing to give up some of that torqueyness for a bit more power after 4800. And how much higher do you think the power needs to go?

Are your gear ratios optimized?
Is your timing optimized?
What fuel is available?
What carb and intake are you running?
Do you have cranking compression numbers?

I think I would give up some torque if I could move the usable RPM range up higher so that I have a wider usable band. I'd love to make MORE usable power between 3000 and 5800 or 6000 RPM. I'm in the process of switching from the not optimal A833 OD to a regular A833 with a 3:08 rear. Fuel sucks here, 91 octane at best. Car was dyno tuned so I think timing is good. Holley 575 Street Avenger with an Edlebrock performer (older). I don't have the compression numbers, but it seems like the short block is fairly freshly rebuilt...
