I won't argue with that, but will only say, each driver has their own idea of daily driver material. Whats livable for me, may not be for you.....
So what is the overall effect of a say 3500-4000 convertor when driving on the street? You lose fuel economy but what are the "driveability " issues. I was considering swapping out my 3.07's but keep coming back to your's and Corky old posts on CF re lack of difference with gear change. Have 3K now with 383 HSR and a stall swap is cheaper than gear swap especially if it will give better results at the track which is the only thing I am interested in at present Plus it will allow me to run my GM 847 cam v the ZZ409 I have at present
