The TKO600 with the .65 OD is also geared rather high for most uses. Search here and you will find some threads on people who regret the .65 and are looking to change to the .82
Remember that ultra high HP may make for great bragging rights, but unless you can put the to the ground, it is wasted. Anything over 550 is probably not usable on most cars in my opinion, your results may vary.

I agree. The .65 OD is a waste at anything below 70 MPH, and I have 3.73 gears in the rear.
