FWIW...when you undercam a serious torque street stroker with a 4 speed you will have a very hard time getting and keeping it hooked on street tires...that's why I say it's important to get the torque curve where it'll do you the most good (ie, propelling the car) . Steve's 236/236 example would be perfect for a 3200-3400 stall automatic car but I'm thinking a 4 speed cuda with 4.10's would spin and spin and give up maybe 30-40hp up top once it did get hooked up.
This also correlates with my real world testing in my motor. I run a 8" ATI converter with a 4400 stall. The truck is an`animal down low.(even with my actual 9.9 compr) I've spent a lot of time and money trying to get it to hook. I even spun on my 1.44! Honestly, I'd trade some TQ for some more HP. The thing rips on the street, but I'd rather ET better.
