Tony,

I have 3:73's in my coupe (347 stroker) and was planning on a Tremec 5 speed. Are you saying 1st gear is too short? Since you've had that setup, how was 5th gear on the Hwy? I don't want to be screaming in 5th gear while cruising but would like a lil' punch out of the hole.

Which 5spd would be better:

TKO-500 (Ratios: 3.27, 1.98, 1.34, 1.0, 0.68.)
or
TKO-600 (Ratios: 2.87, 1.89, 1.28, 1.0, ???)

I see there are 2 different 5th gear ratio's for the TKO-600. (0.82 and 0.64). Out of those 3 transmissions, which one is closer to my needs? Car will be street driven 95% of the time.

Thanks, Joe
