I hate those internal throw out bearing assemblies, I'd FIND room for an external slave.

I just ordered the TKO-600 from Blykins myself, I won't take any chances on a weaker trans. I'd like a little taller 1st gear ratio but it's OK. For some reason most folks want a lower one, go figure, you ARE going to have more traction issues with a lower ratio 1st gear.

.8 over drive for me, WAY to much drop with the .6 for MOST of us with a decent cam profile. Trying to keep your motor in the proper rpm range will have you doing 80-85 mph and looking for a ticket. I did my calculations based on a more reasonable 70-75 mph and went .8.
