Torque = Driveability ? (Engine Masters LSA shootout)

I am in a different boat than 99% of the guys on here. I don't have a light a-body. With my 46rh, I am at <1/4 throttle 90% and 100% throttle the rest.

I am here because this site has the most discussions about small blocks. E, B and truck forums have alot less guys doing SBM mods.

I am also concerned about how it runs being stuck in traffic for a 1/2 hour more than WOT HP. I need my a/c, P/B, P/S in my pickup.
Trucks (especially towing) need low speed Torque (Really needs low speed hp) why diesel are popular cause peak hp is at or near road speeds, you don't need to drop gears or as many to be in the powerband just push the throttle down, most cars don't need a lot of under 3,000 rpm power.
