Not Ranked
I have an older 3550 TKO and it's just ok. Shifting is a bit mushy with occasional missed 3rd/5th shifts. With the 3.73 rear, the 0.68 OD is too tall for the motor (a bored/stroked 351 418 CI with a Victor Junior intake), as the motor wants >2000 RPM to cruise, which is ~75 mph in 5th.
My new car will have a TKO 600 Road Race with a 0.82 5th and 3.31 rear which should give me right at 2k RPM at 65, which I think will be perfect for the 482 with mild cam and dual-plane intake (loads of low-end torque).
