small block 360 cam selection

Only if you think a 2500 converter is a good thing.

Otherwise, the OP is just wasting power and it has nothing to do with a quarter mile.

well...i do and my current ride uses just such a converter.With the small cam the 340 it pulls hard on the street, gets good mileage and i love it.It would not be best for the quarter mile though. But yes my last build had a 9 1/2 dynamic with a much higher stall and it certainly improved the bottom end. I just did not like driving through it repeatedly when pushing it during regular driving.
