Did you consider the 703?
What would I be giving up with the 703? 20HP on the top? Another 500rpm?
I want this thing to be really street friendly, daughter, and wife can drive it?

And I'll probably set a rev limiter for 5500.
And tweak my governor to shift at 52-5300.
My AMC colum shift, hooked to GM turbo 400 linkage ant real smooth.
Even at the track, it shifts itself at WOT.
