Default Twin TC78's over kill for a 370?
Traded my Twin TC66s for a 87 Monte Carlo T-Top roller which will be recieving my 370. I was told to shoot for TC78s but for a Street/Strip car they seem toooo big, and insight?

For a street car that's a little to much.

Max would be twin TC72's for a 370 and street build. Also depends on the level of power you are shooting for?
