Quench vs. Compression on a daily driver.

In Manitoba,with an aluminum headed 367, it is almost impossible to have too much cylinder pressure. My combo has run over 180psi ....... on 87E10. One combo was pushing 200.
Currently she is running 180psi with a Q of .034 .... And I often/usually, having done some oiling mods, spin it up to 7000/7200 . Just because.
And she runs 205* minimum coolant temp.
The Scr is ~11/1, has been as hi as 11.3
With a 4 speed, she has run a starter gear down to 8.59. But currently runs 10.97..
That Thumper is awful hard on gas, especially around town. You can make the same amount of power with a regular cam of similar .050 duration,and get waaay better fuel efficiency, But you would lose the wicked idle-lope.
The 2.76s do NOT have to go, because ; with a regular TorqueFlite automatic,your power peak is gonna be a tic over 5000 rpm/57 mph, and 65 mph will be ~5700. I actually like it. But to get off the line briskly, that engine will like a bit higher than stock stall, say a 2800.
The bonus here is 65mph=2230@zero-slip.
But a 3000 will provide a lil more excitement on the 2-1 kickdown at 32 mph.
IMO, with this combo, 3.23s is the most I would install for a DD
