Tremec TKO II with 3.54 diff ratio
My Toploader WR with a 3.54 ratio rear end ( 305/50-15 tires) makes my 427 C/O turn too high rpms at cruising speeds (4000 rpm at 80mph)
I am thinking of installing a Tremec TCO II with .82 5th gear.
With the gearing calculator I see that the 1st gear is shorter than in the TL, which I don't really need , but the gears I use most when trashing around the mountain roads is 2nd and 3rd. 2nd gear is already too short and 3rd too long for me in the toploader . In the TKO II 2nd and 3rd are even more wider spaced . So I am at a dilema at what to do.
Anyone running 3.54 rear end and TKO II can give me some experience input?
Or should I leave the toploader as is and change to a 3.31 or even a 3.07 ratio rear end ?
Your comments wellcome
