As to the Scr I back-calculated the 130psi to; 8.5@ 1000ft, at in ICA of 60*, and 8.3 @ sealevel which yields a VP of100....... at least 33 points below a stock teener (133 for 1969), and 15 points higher than a slanty (85 for 1969). Both at sealevel, and both the highest compression oem examples.
I, probably as most of you, don't want to flat-out call this a bad combo, cuz in this application it's not. The saving graces are 1) it is 95% for a hiway cruiser, and 2) you gotta love the 3-2 downshift at 65 mph!
I built a similar combo back in the 80s, and it was a worse combo......... cuz it was a DD city car, with 2.73s. I had the same results; namely gutless on take-off but getting better with rpm , then back to being a dog on the 1-2 upshift, but a fantastic 3-2 downshift at 50/55 for passing. I put a 2800 in it and that was no big help. That was a low-compression 1973 block with 340 top end and cam. But when I put the 318 cam and heads back on it, then that 2800 was pretty sweet. And 3.55s completed the transformation.
That engine was also pretty sweet with the TTI's and 4.30s and a stick. I still have it, lo these several decades later.
