318>390 Stroker.......Your thoughts

AJ, it seems that you rarely consider that some folks have performance goals and driving styles that are unlike your own. Some of us like to take our street cars to the drag strip and we also have sticky tires/slicks for that purpose. Your thing seems to mainly be spinning tires and accelerating up to 65 mph. Maybe the OP wants to run 11s or something in the 1/4 and couldn't care less what gear he needs for best acceleration from 30 to 55(or whatever) mph on the street. I can't relate to the idea of building a performance vehicle and then never track testing. Without actual testing, it's all speculation and "seat of the pants". Someone telling me that their car runs good without knowing the numbers really tells me nothing but their own perception.
