The car is light, so you won't really miss the torque loss below 3k, but expect to downshift when passing sometimes. The motor does not like to lug around under 2000 rpms, drive accordingly.

I bought a tuned AED carb from Randall at cobra valley- that's the best motor upgrade you can make, it drives so much better than the holley 4150hp it came with. Much more responsive at thebmiddle/bottom. Just order a carb and run it from the beginning with the aed.

Thanks Dave, this is helpful on idle setting and now that you and Fred have both mention keeping RPM's up. My style of driving is always in the higher RPM mode anyway. Keeps the car always ready to go.
