Tony, I just had a look at TKO600/T56/Magnum ratios on Tremec's web site and the 6th gear on a T56/Magnum is typically lower than the 5th gear on a TKO, with 4th gear on both boxes being the same ratio, ie, 1.00.

Have you worked out your engine RPMs at highway cruising speed? A second overdrive might be preferable.

TKO ratios

T56 Magnum ratios
