I was just saying in general, one of the main reasons generally people build a 408 cause of torque, it's your car gear it how you want it. Less gear just makes it harder to get into the powerband , if that's a lesser concern to you, it all should work out.
Yes the main concern is getting closer to a stock situation. Buddy I sold the car too back in 2013 began setting the car up for better performance. The way it is now though it’s just not a highway driver at all. I see what you are saying though.
