I have just installed the tremec 6 speed in my own car and love it!!! The 6th gear is a second overdrive. I was not sure I would be able to use that much gear but on a highway cruise you can slip her into 6th and RPM drops to about 1800 at over 75MPH with a 3:55 rear gear. The engine still pulls the gear with the little hills etc but can always drop into 5th for a quicker pass if needed.
If a 5 speed is good the 6 speed seems to be even better. Life is good..
