Circle d 3200, you can barely tell its there when you're driving like a sane person but it's there when you put your foot in it. I'm glad I went with it, actually I would love to go to a 3400 but price doubles at that point.

If you get a GOOD QUALITY converter... Yank, FTI, etc etc... the higher stall won't seem so bad at normal driving. Now get a cheap budget converter and it will. The 4.8's have NO low end. Getting the heavy mass moving takes a little work, and a converter will help get it moving. Especially when you're trying to get out of your own way..

My circle-D flashes at 2600-ish when its supposed to be a 3000-3200.. It flat falls on its face once it flashes till the cam starts pulling in.. and a 220/220 really isn't all the huge of a cam

The triple 12 will work great in that as is also there is the option of putting it on a 110 or even 108 lsa for a little bit more midrange punch. and lopy idle. The 212/212/108 will sound similar to a 220/220/112 but have a lot more low, and midrange power.

It's not like you're dumping a clutch at 3200...

This is a vid with the 3.43s and 32" tall nittos. http://www.facebook.com/v/498792756802920
