the gears I'll give you.. tho. lite cars can be mighty fast/quick with 2.73's and a big stick..
the bigger carb I call fowl on.. a 355 cid will need the same air flow.. no matter what cam you slide in it.. it doesn't become a 455 just because you stuffed a big cam in it..
the bigger carb also hurts the low end torque that causes the need for bigger gears 3.90/4.10/4.56
so please explain..
