Stall and Shift RPM Question.

Thanks for the information.
Initial Timing is @ 14* btdc.
Total is @ 34*.
Edelbrock RPM A/G, Eddy 1405.
Likes to idle at 750 in Neutral (600 in gear) at temp.

and, I agree with not jumping. I do not intend to purchase this year. (maybe a winter project) but wanted to start the research and learning process now.
Currently the car has the Econo 2.45:1 gears. I have a set of 8.25 SureGrip with 3.55's but will not start the gearing project the winter.
I do not want to spend money unwisely or needlessly so I am trying to figure out the "Big Picture" before moving forward. That being said, here is my reasoning for the stall:
1. At launch, stall is 1700-1800 rpm. That is the most I can get it to rev without creeping.
2. Motor starts pulling hard at 2500-2700.
That would lead me to believe I need just a little more stall in order to get into that pulling zone, ie. the working power band.
I have not worked with a higher stall launch before, only clutch launch's so it is new to me. I figure the more research and more info the better.
Many seem to think I am heading out this weekend to buy a 5500rpm stall so I can have it 'RIGHT NOW'.
I am not that kinda guy.
As always, Thanks to all for the info.
