Re: All Stick Drag Racers Look! Need Help.

a stock TKO500/600 is not meant to shift above 6500 rpm. i have a promotion tko600 going in my car soon. it is FULLY built with all the options, however it will be difficult to drive on the street. their 3650 is a sweet and much less expensive deal. there is a guy on modularfords that is selling one i believe.

you mentioned staying in 3rd gear. if you plan on dragging this car then the most beneficial mod you can do is gears, meaning you will be using 4th. also if you stay to a fairly low (numerically) gear then you'd be better off with a tko500 or 3650 rather than a t56 or tko600 as these have a numerically lower 1st gear and you will lose most of your torque (the little bit that mod motors do have) upon launch.
