I have the .82 and one approach is merely to stay in 4th. If I did it again I would still have a .82 with the mods that Brent suggested. The TKO 600 (stock) has it's own rhythm and I removed a Jordan shifter and went back to the stock lever because it was slower. And more in tune with the 600. More RPMs makes the package sweeter all around. OK, a touch more for fuel and noisier. But the motor might actually be happier.

Does anyone have an idea of what the cost is for this conversion for parts and labor assuming I pull the transmission? Just wondering if I am better off just buying another TKO with the .82 already installed for the 2500 or so that they are selling for now days.
Thanks!
