From my research and experience a 273 makes most of its power spinning fast. Not much low end torque. Anders wants spin his at 7 grand. IMO that cam would fit the bill. If everything else is correct....stick or auto? Could use low gears and a loose convertor. IMO

Not much difference than any other small block. Maximum horsepower is around 5000 like all the rest. That rpm thing is a old wives tale. And look at that flat torque curve. Yes the bigger cube engines will have more torque at lower rpm's. That's why they put 360's in trucks. LOL
