For just about all the street duty my car saw...... it had 4.10’s and 27” tires, and cams that were pretty happy putting along at pretty low speeds, although I used to run plenty of stall for the size of the cam.

I’d drive around on just about every road or street in high gear.
I’d leave a stop light and it was one—two—three..... right into high......then leave it there til the next stop light.
It seemed like the converter would keep the motor at the same rpm in all gears when I was driving around town.
I was never cruising along at 30mph or so in 2nd with my combo....... I’d have shifted into 3rd.

The quickest the car was, while still seeing any kind of street duty was low to mid-11’s.
So, you have a different animal there.
