Maybe neither. Back in 73 my 69 383/4 speed/3.23 gear Charger was never beat in a street race. With Gabriel Air shocks and M/T "J60" x 15 rear tires the car would hook like you wouldn't believe. Bring tach up to 2500 rpm,
side step clutch and nail it, bang second at 6000 and 99% of the time race was over. Very seldom had to use third gear. Beat 427's, 440's, any engine Camero or Mustang.
But remember, this was street racing. I'm sure if I had went to strip car would have bogged like no tomorrow.
Even took Dad one night, he just shook his head and said don't tell your Mom!
