exactly. more converter....more RPM....less streetable.

the kid wants a street truck, not an all out race only track vehicle.

so, with a smaller cam, tighter converter, will low RPM driveability suffer with a 300 cfm port on a 360 cubic inch motor?



More conv doesnt make it less street friendly...
plenty of people(me included) run much higher stall
on the street... with the gear (4.56) the revs will
come up pretty quick and he wont spend much time
at low rpm.... if he doesnt want to change conv then
I would just leave it alone and go with the gear...
back when I played on the street I always did a gear
first then conv then the engine... that was always
the biggest improvement for the money spent... JMO
