Hey Duane,

Sounds like a few good solid applicable users. Just wondered what gear set you were considering. The road race version would really make that car quick all the way to 5th. The .82 5th makes it a very usable gear with proper rpm spread between 4th & 5th.

TREMEC TKO-600 5-speed for Ford (650HP Road Race). Standard tailhousing and shifter. Ratios: 2.87, 1.89, 1.28, 1.0, 0.82. Spline: 26/31.

In hindsight I probably would have set my shifter up for the mid-shift location to get my hand closer to the steering wheel during shifts. I don’t know what the layout of the Lister is but Kevin is a big guy and it may be something to consider. The JBL is very similar to this arrangement. When you sit down next to the tunnel like that, your arm is up, laying on the tunnel and cocked back at times. It can be a little uncomfortable. By moving the shifter forward, your hand is closer to the wheel and more relaxed. You and Gary could do some layout and mock up the shifter location(s) to see what position works best.

When I'm up at Tom's next week I'd like to go by Gary's and take a look if I can.

Talk soon, John
