Yup, I have a Pro-Motion TKOII road race too w/ 3:55s. I got a deal on it that I couldn't pass up. I was just about to purchase a Viper spec t-56 and the tkoII popped up. I only drive my car about 200 miles per year so it really doesn't bother me. It's only about 300 rpm higher on the high way than stock. Either way, good luck.

I dont really mind my .82 o/d, Just gotta go slow on the highway heh.

But I was also sent a .82 o/d when I didnt specify which one I wanted, didnt notice until I drove it down the highway lol.

Yesterday i went to see the Tremec TKOII and the same guys is also selling a regular Tremec 3550. The guy was asking too much for them and for the price he was asking i can get a TKO600. So this week i am going to be calling some places and see go gives me the best deal. I also need to talk to Muscle Motors because they told me that they can match any deal.

Yes, Tremec engineers are been coming up with new stuff. The TKO500/600 are stronger than the 3550.

get the tk0 500, with the 3.27 first, and the .68 OD.

That's what i wish i had. I don't like the 600's 2.87 first, and i don't like the .62 OD either.
