The additional 2000 RPM is a by-product of the loose converter and gearing the car to 60' and 330'. The tighter converter has knocked a couple hundred RPM off the the top end.
So, you are trying to tell me, in order to utilize a camshaft of 270º+ @ .050", I need to add 500-800 lbs. to my car to make it work? Because, that's what I'm seeing is pretty common.
I'm sure if 240º @ .050" camshaft ran harder at my weight, I really have a hard time thinking it wouldn't work better at 3100. 3300?
At the same time, you are saying, if I knock 40º out of my cam, use a 4800-5000 stall converter and switch to a 4.30 gear with my current 31.2" tire, it will 60' better than a 1.266?
If it helps, just forget about it being a "bracket car". The bomb ticks under the hood of every race car.
