Jet sizing question

For a cruiser-car, once the car is moving, gearing isn't that critical. With taller gearing it just stays in each gear for a longer period of time, due to less ROAD-footpounds being delivered per second.Road ftlbs per second;hmmmmm; that would be road-horsepower then..................But calling it torque per unit of time is more descriptive of what you are experiencing. Which is why I use a DP carb. With the secondaries wide open, I can get away with a little less gear,cuz the open secondaries restore some or all of the torque multiplication I lost with the change to taller gears. If I get into wheelspin,when I don't want it,(Hah), it's just a matter of backing out of the throttle.Plus I hate waiting for the secondaries, at low rpms; if you can't get wheelspin the secondaries can be agonizingly slow. Or so it seems. When I mash the gas, I demand (lol) action;instantly.If I can't jump the other guy, I'll be skulking home.I hate skulking..........
And DPs are hard on gas, cuz, well you know, they're just so much more funner, I'm always rompin on it! My bad.
