Not Ranked
Guys
The Tremec 5th gear is an OVERDRIVE. I have the RR version with the .78 but I use it strictly on the highway for cruising. And it works. I have a 4.11 rear and first is DEEP but the car is running 1.40's 60' times as the motor pulls 8,000 RPM. On the other hand I took a trip a while back and the 6 got right around 22 miles per gallon at 75MPH. Not bad for a flowed 1000 CFM Holley. Motor just purred along. I'm running 275/40/17's on the rear.
All in all I'm really happy the the Tremec. I looked at all the options and couldn't get everything I wanted in any trans so the Tremec was my choice. So far so good. The only complaint I HAD was it was very notchy until it broke in. ie no powershifting at run and gun. 300 miles later it was fine and, SO FAR, no testing of the rev limiter on any missed shifts. So far...
Regards,
