If it helps your thought process...
The slant in my truck is a low-to-middlin' build. About 8.2 compresssion, oversize valves, head cut .060 with a light pocket port job. Offy 4-barrel with an AVS2 500 carb, Clifford shorties to a single 2.5" exhaust. 833OD with 3.55 gears and 28" tires. It will very much get up and go if you want it to, even in a heavy non-aerodynamic vehicle. YMMV of course, but this thing is a hoot to drive.
