Not Ranked
I agree with Robert Moore. I have a 1970 BOSS 302 engine updated with
a solid roller cam good for around 400 hp. The rear is 3:31 and the Tremec
TKO has a 2:95 first gear which feels a bit short. If I went any lower in the
rear first gear would be a pain to use. The little Cleveland will pull past
7000rpm easily but the cam puts my peak hp at about 6500 and peak torque
at 4100rpm. On the freeway in 5th gear I see about 2200rpm at 70mph. The
car feels happy at slow speeds around town and never bulks. It feels like
a 4 speed toploader with over drive...which it essentially is! Whats not to like?
