Peak HP was only 5800 so the talk of needing to spin it high isnt reality. It had a tight continental converter in it that only flashed 3000. It didn't need any rear gear, it made grunt right off idle and would yank the tires at the track. If people have trouble making torque with combos like this something is wrong.

That is interesting, what was the peak power at 5800? A 455 using 330 cfm running about 104% VE should carry a 455 past 7000. Seems like with that much cam it should have carried the power longer? Are those the same heads that are on your dads car now the big engine?
