Yes the big tq. down low is helping to get the tank moving(which is what I targeted), and yes, in an all out drag race/track car, I'd want my power band to be a little taller. That could easily be (re-)achieved w/an intake swap(back to the Vic jr.)and cam swap better suited for higher revs but in fact, this is not an all out track car. I drive it.... so my power currve fits the bill. Decent(enough)at the track, and good fun on the street.
You are correct in that my power curve begins to flatten out early(around 6400), although, my trap is a function of the rear gear I'm using(4:10), and not lack of power up top(as is indicated by a 23 mph gain through the lights in the back half). Swap it out for a 3:73 and watch the mph sky rocket.....
FWIW, I'll be swapping out the gear for something more suited to the kits as it's already almost too much gear on motor(unless I decide to just do 1/8 mile bottle passes).
Not here to argue the symantics of why one is better than another.... just offering my personal experience/views-
Have a great week!-
