Yes. With the WR toploader's first gear 2.78, you can use a 3.08 rear, and if you build a BB stroker, I'd run 2.88's in the rear. Then you don't need an overdrive. But , many people are running the TKO600 with 3.54's or so, then the 0.82 OD is more useful. But, with the 3.46 rears, 1st may be a little short, and with the 2.87 first, 3.08 or 2.88 rears would probably be more useful, at least to my taste.

I'd run 3.08's with the TKO600 (0.82 OD), and either 3.08's or 2.88's with the WR toploader.
