As for the 331/347, it's going to be much more cost effective for you to go this route and there's no use in passing up on cubic inches.
So.....compromise and move on.  |
Honest, Brent, I don't want a stroker!  It's unlikely that I'll pull up next to a 427 Cobra in my neck of the woods!
Driving to work, I use 1500 to 6000 every day, and no I don't do it at every set of traffic lights! The boys in blue lock us up here for dragging on public roads....
So, the rev range I would be chasing is 1500 (or OK, 2000 if using a slightly shorter diff) to as high as I can get.
