Riddle me this...

Yeah that doesn't sound right for that gearing at all. It almost sounds like you're in 2nd gear? Here's a question, can you just fog burn off at will with no problem? If yes then your gears are a lot lower than you think if no then something else is wrong.
Yeah I can burn some rubber VERY easy with just a cam swap and 4 bbl carb. I also know for a fact it's in third cause I counted shifts to make sure. Brake stall is 1800.
