I run the same motor in my 70 gto,,455,,#64 ported by SD,,stock intake and ram air manifolds. Crower 60919,,(very close to RA4 cam ) with rhoads v max. 3.31 with 4 speed. All the low end you can use. Cant keep the tires hooked up even going WOT from idle....1st or 2nd gear. With 3.73 gears,rhoads and your auto the low end should be ridiculous.
