Congrats Gary!
Check and see if you want to have the TKO600 "rubbed" before installation.
My KC 496 is over 600 hp, and does not like 2-->3rd shifts.
I have checked around, and it is not the clutch, it's the transmission not slowing down enough between shifts at 2nd to 3rd.
I am going to pull the tranny out this winter and send it to Keisler to get it modified. I also have the throwout bearing leaking (McLeod), so I need to take it out anyway.
Good Luck on your build, This might hold you over until your dyno
