You only shifted once as you said is why your car ran what it did.....My stock headed 340 '71 Cuda ran the same, 13.31'[email protected], 3.55's/26"tyres, that showed 298fwhp...2 gear changes.
With 2.45's I only shifted once. With 2.94's I hit 3rd. I'm probably only shifting at 4800 rpms or so. No tach
