The Low gear will just get the engine in its "happy" power band faster. Your whole issue could just be simple suspension front end modifications.

Email me when you have time and we can further discuss it.

Dad's 65 Mustang does what you want to do with a 289, less power and less torque than what you have and 60fts better.

Any video is helpful.

I would say the carb is too big and too much head. Not enough cam. I dont think its any where near 500 HP with those specs.
