He did ask one question that I'd like opinions on - should I change from a 3:31 rear to a 3.54 rear. I have the TKO600 with the .82 overdrive. He said they install the 3.54 10:1 over the 3.31. Thoughts?
Can't go wrong with Kirkham. But if you have the "soft steel" disease, I would take a long hard look at the stub axles that go through your hub. Those will be the next to go. BTW, I have the 3.54, but I have the .64 fifth gear. Personally, I love it, through all five gears, not just fifth.
