AJ's Opinion; Just for you 318 streeters
But you apply YOUR definition of “street” to everything. What you call street I consider pretty milquetoast.
For me, “street” can encompass a whole lot more that what you limit it to. I have driven 4.56 gears on the street since I traded my 498 cased 3.23 Trac-lock diff and a hurst shifter handle for a 742 cased 4.56 Powr-lock diff in the fall of 1980. I drove that thing everywhere. Even down the freeway to the beach and I let it RPM. If the GF started bitching about it, I’d pull over and tell her to wait there and I’d pick her up in two days. That stopped most of that sniveling.
And that’s the crux of the issue. You live and die by your definition of street. I have been doing what people say Isn’t street since 1980. That includes tunnel rams and other stuff. In fact, my 340 will have a tunnel ram this year, and the W2 Stroker deal will have a Holley Pro Dominator tunnel ram on it. And I’ll drive them on the street with 4.88’s and I’ll have the wife drive it to prove how easy it is.
Oh, and that’s with a clutch that most everyone claims is a drag race only clutch. And it the D60 will have a spool.
My definition of street is not the same as some other folks.
