Guys:


Let me stand corrected: (by myself)

After spending some time on the net last night, this is what I found:

Tremec 3550 350 ft.lb. capacity $1,300
Tremec TKO 450 ft.lb. capacity $1,600
Tremec TKO II (.83 od) 450 ft. lb. capacity $2,200
Ricmond Gear 5 speed 450 ft. lb. capacity $1,900

I'm comparing apples to apples on the capacity values. You may see higher capacity numbers for the Tremecs from aftermarket sellers, but the numbers I show above are directly from the manufacturers. The TKO II does make this model more useable, but first gear may still be a little to low. What I should have said in the last post is the 3550 is very questionable capacity wise, and both the 3550 and the TKO are not that desirable gear ratio wise. The TKO II has a good od. ratio, still probably to low of a first gear, and $300 more than a Richmond. Richmond is still the winner in my book, especially now that I explained everything.
