Correct. Heck, even the hydraulic roller version will have trouble in a heavy vehicle with tight factory converter and tall tires and tall gears. And the 1984 7.8:1 smogger I had with a crane energizer, Weiand Xcellerator, and 3.21 gears in a '76 Warlock (Bought, Not Built!) had less torque than a good slant six. Hey AJ, your inbox is full. I was going to give you a shout here for a minute. Thanks!
