I was 77 HP & 80 ft lbs off, Damm, was I off LOL.
I have been trying to tell you in the past you need a looser converter, but @ least now you are going to get one. :-)

I would look into a stall of 2100-2400 w/a lock-up type converter.
http://www.tcsperformance.com/ makes a 9/11 converter & I believe Rusty can make you whatever stall you want.

If you want something more responsive I would leave the lumps in & switch to a Offy intake manifold,,, I know,I know more stuff to weld & so on but,just something to think about.

I am not sure if you have tried both 4 bbl manifolds,but there is a huge difference in throttle response,the Offy being the more responsive one.
With the Clifford,it has always been a manifold that is sluggish on power down low.

With your car being a low RPM street vehicle,low stall torque converter I would think IMO the Offy would be a better choice.

The runners on the Clifford are huge too big for a low RPM street engine :-)
