It eats up my .666 lift cam a 252/260 @ .050 pretty well where it will idle smooth at 1000 and cruise as low as 1600 in 5th. Lot's of average power. I have to admit when I start it cold I would love for it to sit an idle without touching the gas.
( Driveability ) Bingo, jump in start and go. Because of this I drive my 69 alot more than I drove my 67. Now if I get another musclecar, it will be old school fun.
