I like the 5 speeds. TKOs have 2 different 5th gears, pick your poison, one for racing and one for cruising. Check out the transmission calculators out there to figure the cruising RPM you'd be happy with...with your selected rear gear and tire size.
I went with the T56 magnum (From Brent
) in my Daytona Coupe. I didn't have to pick the poison in this case. And it shifts like a dream compared to TKO 600s. It did fit in my car. I have IRS and a 3:70 rear end. 6th is great for cruising at 75 and fifth goes like a striped ass ape with the help of Brent's small block.
BTW, I wouldn't race a new Camaro or mustang either over 100-120 mph in a Cobra. You'll find out (if you don't know already) the 120 in a Cobra feels like 160. Now in my Coupe......
