Pretty Boy,

As we talked about at the Herndon Drink-Ripper's-Beer gathering, I think the 600 offers some advantages. Although the Richmond may have held up better than the old TKO, neither it or the old TKO are rated for 600 ft-lbs like the TKO600. I have a 3.23 rear with the .82 5th and I think that is about ideal. A 3.31 would be about the same. Cruising at 70 is about 2300 rpm. My engine doesn't like below 2000 cruising and I think you will be close with a .68 5th. I haven't run the numbers, so I don't know for sure.
