Scooter, we know you like your 283, but they do not build large amounts of torque and torque is what it takes to move a heavy car..... Small inches and high revs work good in a light car with a lot of gears and a big number gear in the back. If you really want to have some fun with that mouse, go find a five speed, make fifth gear one to one and 1st about a 2.50 to 1, then run a 4.88 rear gear. Get the car weight down to the 2000 pound range and you can do some serious whooping on the 350's. (go to a 9" rear and I'll let ya run a set of my 6.50's!!!!!)
