Edbo,
I like the rpm drop into 5th gear, you help the fuel mileage a bunch. Its like in my Viper, 6th speed helps mileage. 1200 rpm at 65 mph. Not really useable on the street unless your really cooking along and shift into 6th around 145-150 mph. I want to twist my 408w to 6500 to 6800 rpm.
Dwight,
The 3550 Hd looks good but they are being fazed out. Why? The tremec 500 looks pretty good right now. Too new to get much if any feed back. I do not want to be the new guinney pig to try them out. Any real world experiances???

Thanks guys!
Ted.
