How much stall is to much for a mainly street car

Hang on Doogie,
I'm not sure if that is said tongue-in-cheek, cuz I missed the lol.
But if it's not;
My car went 93 in the 1/8th@3467#, which translates to about 430 crank hp. I have a 367HO/stick so that might be 365 rwhp. I have run almost every rear gear from 2.73 to 4.88, and if any of em were garbage, I didn't notice. For the street, my favorite was/is the 3.55. With my combo, it's a dump it and go deal, then dial in the tirespin with throttle. So there are times I floor it from 1500rpm or 1800 or 2000 but rarely more.

Sorry AJ, I thought your car was a stick.
Is it a manual or auto?

But here's the trick; I put the power in the cylinder pressure instead of the cam.

So I get what you are saying ; if you are limited to 160ish psi with iron heads, it's gonna take a lotta rpm to make that 365rwhp, and that means a big cam, which translates to a soggy low-rpm, which will need a bigger TC to NOT be garbage;

No way! As stated a hundred times here by the been there and done that, a good quality converter will not have this effect and a larger cam is subjective but probably not needed.

What is a big cam to you is not to others.
Speaking of which, what is a big cam to you?

I get that.
But with 185 to 200psi, it's a different story. I hit that 93 mph with a [email protected] cam, and 185psi.
So; OP; I highly recommend lots of cylinder pressure/aluminum heads,the right TM, and probably any old TC,lol. Put your money into the heads and run the cylinder pressure up.
With a 360 this is cheap and easy, cuz it practically falls together between 10.7 and 11.3, and still maintaining a tight-Q. This allows for dialing in almost any street cam even the mighty 292/108

The mighty 292/.509? LMAO!!!
What is “the right tm?”

As to the 3.55s, they are the default gear,cuz
with the GVOD, the cruize rpm is 62=2130 rpm, and the 230 cam vacuum peaks at just a tad under that. The engine was just as happy with 3.23s and the 3.09 low gear. But the fuel mileage was no better, at 62=1940.And
Using the GVOD as a gear splitter, she hits 60mph at 6380 in first-over, for a two-ratio run to the speed limit, badaboom. 3.23s would make it 5800 which the sound of 5800 pales in comparison to 7200 with howling tires and screaming twin 3" cannons.. And
She will bust the 295s loose to 50/55mph with just a foot stomp, in second gear with a 750DP carb.
So those are the reasons for the 3.55s
OP are you paying attention?

Why did you ramble on about a gear vendors overdrive?
AJ, are YOU paying attention?!?!?!?!
