Even going by Edelbrock’s own recommendations your darn close to what the Performer can handle in terms of CID and cam.
The Performer is incapable of producing more then 430 Hp unless you lower the plenum divider 3/4” all the way across the plenum or run a open 1” spacer and at that point your better served by the Performer RPM or the T2 depending on your gearing and converter.

I too am surprised you have not torn your 700R up yet!

This is for now a happy accident showing you how down on torque your 469 motor combo is.

I agree, once you get the motor making the power that it should your 3.73 gears will then really show you that there too much .
