2200 stall with 3:55 gears.
It was a slug off the line.

I believe you.
Allowing 800ft for your elevation, and a true 10/1 Scr, that Comp, in at 108 is predicted to make 162psi@ 132VP.These numbers are really good.
But the 3.55s hobbled her and the 2200 chained the engine to low-rpm operation for waay too long, giving the slug-like off-the-line performance.
But now, the factory 340 cam, with the 22/66 specs is in at 112, and is predicted to make 155psi@122VP.

So that makes it hard to understand how the factory cam runs stronger off the line. I said understand,Mike, not believe. I'm learning too, so I always wanna investigate the enigmas, that don't conform to common thinking.
My own car is one of those. Given the relatively mild build, it should not have run the miles per hour that it did.
