----Lynn,,,It's all about the weight of the flywheel. Less weight faster ability to gain RPM. At Classic Motors (circa 1977-78) I had a 67 435 convert that had been drag raced prior to my ownership. It had the factory flywheel set-up. we had to yank the motor for some work and along with that I decided to install the L-88 flywheel, bellhousing, and clutch assembly (10 1/2). That 435 became probably the fastest one I have ever had with a basicly stock engine. The car was carrying a 456 gear set which would also help a bunch, but lower more normal gears would also benefit....Bill S
