The converter's 2400 RPM I believe. Yes, the engine really starts to breathe at about 3500 and gives me the old 2-stroke dirtbike feel that something's finally lit up.... I appreciate all your inputs, I'm going to go with the dual plane Performer RPM, maximize my exhaust baffle diameter and stick in a posi with at least a 3.08 in it....looks like 2600-2700 RPM freeway cruising will be part of the picture, but then I figure I can't have everything in one package can I?

I don't know enough about clutches to know if a hydraulic would be workable for a guy who can't stand a lot of pressure pushing something. Does anyone here run a hydraulic clutch? Is it a lot easier to deal with than a mechanical?

What an adventure!

You folks have been wonderful in your time and attention to the ignorance of this newb....thanks!
