did the gears up the torque a lot ?
doesn't that cause higher RPM at 80 MPH Highway driving?

I have a rebuilt with 8# blower, rest is stock, 150,000 miles, 5.0 93 old 
cop car.

to the OP I would save up and buy a blower.
A lot of the top end kits loose torque at low end because they are made
for 
winding it out on the strip.
Need long runners for low end torque or KB blower
