Gears

This post nails it. Also, with regard to powerband at the strip, your converter is critical as well. Modern converter designs can allow you to have street manners, and the rpm range you want at WOT. Get a custom converter built for your combo - not an off the shelf unit!

Agreed, I'd say in the street (and track) the converter is more important to get into the powerband cause at normal road speeds 20-50 mph you need a lot of deep gearing to get up there. A stall is kind like a continuous variable gears. But luckily a decent 440 should make a lot of 3000-5000 rpm power too.
