Is it a A or B engine... B engine will make more torque on the low end... A engine you would need to rev it up to make torque unless its a stroked and it will still require some revs

My '68 GTS makes around 600HP and I've got stock wheel wells.......27X9 Hoosier Quick Time Pro's......springs moved in......4.10's and a 4-speed.........at 3,550LBS race weight has run 10.66 @ 127 so far but I can't leave real hard because it runs through the clutch......I've never had any kind of traction issue, even in the middle of summer on greasy tracks..... The secret to making it work is; LOOSE FRONT END WITH GOOD SHOCKS!!!!!!.....Heim joint strut rods and control arms......Poly lower bushings.......Cal-Trac front shocks.......6 cyl. T-bars......
If you can't handle the truth, you're living a lie.......

Guess I should have detailed my plans a hair more. Motor will be a W5 stroker small block. Front end will be a AlterKation w/ coil overs, rear will be 4.10 Dana 60, Caltracs w/ monoleafs. This car will be mainly street driven so I understand I may have to give up some things. Tires will probably be M/T ET streets, unless something else is recommended here?
I wouldnt even mini tub it... move the springs in and call it quits... yes you might sacrifice the 60' some but it doesnt mean you will... put the biggest tire under it that fits and enjoy it(it'll hook if you set the front loose on extension)........ JMO I'm building a Rampage with a 416ci with W-5s but my build is a tube chassis car but I'm building it for the street..... all you need to do is find the happy point for the launch
