There is another option which is the Richmond "super street" 5 speed which is overdrive in 5th gear @.77 ratio. They have 3 different 1st gear ratio options and it is rated for 600 ft-lbs of torque. They cost a little more than a Tremec TKO 600 but the Richmond has correct input shaft lengths for all Ford engines so that you don't have to spend another $150-$300 to get a spacer or shortened input shaft for some engine applications. It includes a "Long" brand shifter unit.
If this would be right for you, shop around because I bought mine for about $400 less than Summit or Jeg's want. I bought mine from Gilbert Chev in Oregon or Wash. even though I was buying a Ford unit. They are a large Richmond dealer.
