[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3215674, member: 15054"] You told me to drive slower on the way back home or I said I was going to go slower..That did not happen. People were moving pretty fast and then this Challenger passed me I was taching 3100rpm so about 85MPH. Yep that ain't happening. I chimed in and trying to get lolly gaggers out of the fast lane was a bit difficult. Cruised a lot of the way back home in front of that car running running 4400 rpm. Years ago in my 47 dodge truck I had 2.75 gears and the same 29.5" tall tires and TH 350 running behind a vette for 15+ miles at 6500rpm. You should appreciate that kwaynem and the engine I had in the truck is the one in my 57 right now..but smaller cam then. it was a 268H on a 106LSA and would rev to 7200rpm before valve float. I only ran 80 psi seat pressure on the springs. I wanted to see how low I could go and still have plenty. [/QUOTE]
