I agree 100%. I personally don't see the need for more converter or more gear. It's a bracket car, no sense in killing the motor with rpm that you don't have to. I am sure it will run quite well.
A buddy of mine runs a 499 or 500" wedge in a tube chassis bracket car, smallish solid roller with good springs. It runs 5.70's or so shifting at 6400 and lives long trouble free lives.
Exactly. The 528 in my Omni-Charger went 5.65-5.70 shifting at the same rpm. It has -1's, bowl ported (330@ .700), .693 roller, 1.76 Glide, and a 4.10 gear. Car is 2500 with me in it. I can't remember the Duration or Cam CL, but it is a fairly mild grind.
