All Chrysler did was make their Super Performance Axle Package/Super Track Pak standard minus the PFDB. IMO - a 4.10 rear was streetable. Not like the standard 4.33 posi rear on the 1968 RA II GTO.

 If this is moving towards a consensus, we should probably separate the post production "built" cars from the assembly plant cars - such as the Yenkos, Baldwin Motion, Mr. Norm & Shelbys.

I have raced in the pure stock muscle car drag race for the last 10 years. The L88 vette,ZL-1 camaro, A12 roadrunners, 440 6 pack challenger, 68 RA11 firebird and the hemi cuda are always in the top qualifying group, don't forget the L89 vette, chevelle and camaro' as well.
The automatic is faster than the 4 speed in 95% of these. Keep in mind that they require the stock size tire that came on THAT car, 70 hemi cuda and road runner had f-60 tires, that helped a lot . With the independent rear, the vette leaves the line the quickest. The fords just can't keep up, even the FE 428 mustangs, the buicks are mid pack, with the Gto ahead of them, especially with the RAiv

Back in the day at Amarillo Dragway I ran my brand spankin' new 70 1/2 Z-28 -- LT-1/4sp/4:10s. I ran that car for most of the summer in B/PS. Held both ends of the track record there with 13.88 ET and 104.22 MPH -- that was at almost 3800 ft of altitude. Corrected to sea level -- 13.25 and 109.21. TAZ
