Need advise on getting power to the ground

not sure you are fully grasping the internals of that engine...
it will be a pig...unless you put 5.13 gear and switch to a stick shift.
that engine is designed for a Target rpm range..ie short power curve..
its not gonna pull down low at all...
that motor is designed to run in one gear and you floor it ..then lift ..floor it then lift..never going under 5-6 grand rpm..
your idea of a radical race motor on the street..isnt relavent to this motor in its "as is condition..."
unless you like hick-uping ..and.. stalling below 5k rpm......like when you are pulling away from a traffic light..!

driving a powerful car/radical engine on the street has little to do with this...

fwiw..my car is street legal..I.drove the boy to football practice in it theother day...slicks and all....
