Not Ranked
Richmond 5 speed or Toploader or Tremec TKO
Anthony,
I couldn't agree more with you, I have been pondering over the gear spacings of the Tremec 600, and nothing lights up to attract me!
Regarding Ron Fellows etc, I haven't looked at the regulations they run under, but I would imagine they either run custom gear sets or a helluva high numbered rear end, because the overdrives are ridiculously high!
I have looked at Richmond 5 speeds, the road race item would interest me with custom ratios, but they are almost as expensive as a Jerico or G-Force, at present I looking at a Jerico WC4-4 with 2.60, 1.72, 1.28, 1.00 ratios, but the five speed may be better with a lower first gear of about 2.90 and bring the intermediate ratios closer together? Also with the WC4-4 they can supply a speedo drive, not sure with the five speed.
Might do some sums again and see what I come up with as far as the Richmond RR box, then I could use my 3.08.1 ratio.
