I agree. I'm more concerned with performance than street. I do not have power brakes so the 270@50 solid flat tappet cam works real good in this 511. I use an 8" Dynamic converter refreshed by Lenny at Ultimate along with a 4.30/28" tire combo. 3000rpm at 60mph. Soon to get the 4.10 back in or maybe a 3.73 gear. You would never guess the vert is a 5100. Cruises super nice and trans temp stays at 180* while cruising. DONT skimp on your converter. A good one is about $1000. Super fun short distant car.
