tom- that's on motor...383 LT1, hydraulic roller, ported stock heads, lots of gear and lots of clutch. i used to launch it at 5000 (shifted at 6500) and i think kiddi is leaving even higher than that on the slicks. the car was full weight with a/c, leather, t-tops and full interior when it got on the boat for iceland. i'm not sure if he's taken any weight out or not.

Interesting thread as I'm considering a TKO 600 for my car right now.
I'd pretty well decided to go auto after burning up clutches last season but just can't bring myself to give up the standard.
I think I'll be pushing the 650 tq/hp rating on the Tremec and will hopefully be in the 10s next year.
The WFO Heim joint clutch linkage I saw in HPP looks to be an excellent upgrade to go with the 5-speed.
Anyone using this yet?

I used heim joints, stock alum rod/tube, and stainless threaded rod to make linkage rods. I just cut the alum to the same length as the stock rods then tapped some threads. I got the joints from McMaster-Carr.
