360 magnum. 1 piston lower in cylinder??

I got that too.
That much pressure with iron smogs would rattle the pistons to death on pumpgas.

Really your 2.71s are killing your performance.
OK, the following examples are pulled out of a hat and may bear zero resemblance to your engine.... but the relativity remains relatively accurate,lol.
Say your engine makes 200ftlbs at stall, and you have a regular TF with a 2.45 low gear, and for ease of calculation, you have 24" tires.
Your take-off torque before TC-TM will be;
200x2.45x2.71 =1328stockftlbs to the road.
Which is not enough to spin two normal sized tires
Say you did nothing to your compression but added a big cam, so that your cylinder pressure dropped, and your engine now makes only 180 ftlbs at stall. Now she will be putting down just
180x2.45x2.71=1195 very sick ftlbs.The suckiest performance ever. With 2.71s and a stock TC nothing is gonna happen until ~35mph
But say you did nothing to your engine at all, but instead installed 3.91s.Now your take-off torque will be
200x2.45x3.91=1916 looking goodftlbs, just enough to bust 'em loose wind her up and smoke 'em.
But say you put a 2800TC in there with 3.55, and now your engine is winding up to 260ftlbs. Now your take off torque will be
260x2.45x3.55=2261 screamingftlbs... still with the untouched engine. Now you have enough torque to put a bit of a cam into her, at the stock compression ratio, and have enough left over to smoke the tires.
Say the new cam dropped 20 ftlbs, so you are down to 240, then
240x2.45x3.55=2087looking good again ftlbs, still enough to light 'em up, and now, if she can carry the torque to when the power hits, you got a screamer. And that is where the cylinder pressure comes in. If the engine runs out of steam before the power hit,the tires stop spinning,the nose drops, and you the pilot says WTH. Then you battle up to the torque peak at say 3800/4000 and then she settles in on the long haul. Cylinder pressure will get you thru that stinking lull.
But honestly for a streeter, it's all in the TM; even a slanty can be a lotta fun with enough TM. As can be seen in the examples above, your first go-to is the TC, followed hottly by the rear gear. There is NOTHING you can do to your street- engine,short of supercharging it, that can compare to TC-plus-gears,nothing.
But say you did pump up the compression, and dropped one cam size; now the pressure might be back at 260 and you can drop a rear gear to 3.23s. Now your take-off looks like
260x2.45x3.23=2057, still great looking ftlbs, and now you can cruise the hiways at 65=2700 or less.
In my experience, I only need about 1600 ftlbs to spin the biggest BFG streets. In the above examples I aimed for 2000ftlbs, to allow for a margin of tuning errors, and the possibility that you might want to install a traction aid and actually convert that torque into something other than annihilating the tires, unlike me,lol.
