If I were building from scratch again I would go with the TKO 600. I chose a toploader behind my 427 w/ 635 hp and a redline of 6800. I will be switching over probably this winter. I road race and on the longer tracks (Road America 4 + miles) where you can hit speeds in excess of 140 mph a .86 5th gear would be very nice.

However, my toploader is almost bullit proof because I have been racing the car in excess of 6000 miles without a single transmission issue. I am not sure the TKO will hold up as well.
