350HO runs great, but...

...how much are my 2.73's holding me back in the 1/4?

It feels a lot faster, I know it'd rape my LG4, even at quarter throttle

Traction is decent...but doesn't feel quick down low, this is just because of the gearing correct?

I know I don't need to go 200MPH...

other than that, its amazing...

The gears are killing you.

So is your stock torque converter.

A 2500-2800 RPM stall, plus about 3.42 or 3.73 gears, would make your car unrecognizable. Probably shave at least 3 tenths off of the car's 60' time, if it maintains traction. It will probably need LCA lowering brackets to do that.
