Looking for more pep off the line
Just for a data point, my 340 (in a 66 Barracuda) used the Comp 268 cam, iron 2.02 heads, stock manifold, TTI stepped headers, and a 3.23 rear end.
It had a 2000 stall (904) and was “slow” out of the hole. Could I burn both tires, yes, but I was never happy.
Switch converter to a 3000 and 3.73 gears and it will react much different
