I know this has been done to death, but now it seems it my turn.

It seems the first 4 ratios of the TKO are quite similar to the original Toploader, so I guess the question is when you shift at 4000, with in my case with a 3.54 rear end will be 90mph, surely the 0.82 with its progressive 5th gear is a bit of a luxury. Seems to me, better to have the 0.64 option and get some quieter and more economical cruising. I'm guessing this will be a bigger real life benefit than accelerating hard from 90.

Trouble I see a lot of posts from guys, who want to trade there 0.64s for a 0.82s. I'm wondering if they have a longer rear end such as a 3.31 or 3.06?

Motor is a 427 FE approx 480/500 etc. Comments and real life experiences would be very welcome.
