It is the right combo for me in terms of off-the-line gear and highway cruising. The stall I have is not enough. This cam update has done a lot in the way of improving this truck. I'm still tuning so can't really update fully on the cam update and what it has done to this engine, but the BBC=>700r=>3.73 definitely makes for a great combination IMO.

EDIT: It's not all roses. IMO the weak point of the 700r is the gear ratio jump between 1st and 2nd...
... for comparison have a look at this little chart showing gear ratios for popular transmissions. Note the 700
... has a 1.44 difference between 1st and 2nd gear where the 350 and 400 have only 1.0.
Trans.....gear ratios 1/2/3/4/..
700r4.....3.06/1.62/1.00/0.68
th400.....2.48/1.48/1.00
th350.....2.52/1.52/1.00
powrg.....1.76/1.00

and for fun...
