Not Ranked
David,
I see all these people talking about the new TKO600. But, the gear spreads (2.87 first) are really similar to, just a touch wider, than a wide ratio toploader (2.78 first), but with an overdrive.
I'm not a racer, no experience other than Run-n-gun. I have a wide ratio TL with a 3.07 rear, and I think the wide ratio TL is just a little too wide. I'm seriously considering changing to a true close ratio tranny , either a CR toploader (maybe one of Kee's aluminum versions), or a custom CR jerico/G-force 5 speed, keeping the 3.07 rear in either case.
I just think the WR toploader gears are spread alittle too wide, and you're really not gaining anything with the TKO600, except for an overdrive, which you really don't need , as to gear the cobra correctly with first gear (2.87), you will need to run sometyhing like a 2.88 or 3.07 rear otherwise first gear is geared too low, and then you probably don't need overdrive with those rear ratio's.
To each his own.
