I blew up the trans and am in saving mode for the TKO. So the motor is on hold. I'm hoping everything will happen this year yet. I could rebuild the T5/motor but it's not worth it at this point.@A5literMan
What the heck is going on with the 11R build? Is there an end in sight with the future X?
Yep, got that done with my screw gun and a 1/4" socket.Prime the oil?

Stock T5 1st gear ratio is 3.35:1. The world class T5 went with the 2.95:1. Also once you start adding the motors ability to rev through the rpms ie cam/heads etc that short 1st gear is semi useless. You would find you like the taller gear IMO.Gears for the TKO600 seam a bit too tall to me. MPH seams a bit high when getting to 5500 rpms.
TREMEC GEAR CALCULATORS: Use the Speed Calculator below to compare TREMEC to your current transmission.
Select Transmission: TKO600
Engine RPM 5500
Axle Ratio 3.73
Tire Height (in)* 25.7"
The estimated speed you will be traveling based on the parameters you established and the transmission you selected.
Ratio MPH
1st Gear 2.87 / 39.28 mph
2nd Gear 1.89 / 59.65 mph
3rd Gear 1.28 / 88.08 mph
4th Gear 1.00 / 112.74 mph
5th Gear .64 / 176.15
Stock T5 gear ratios are: 1st 2.95; 2nd 1.94; 3rd 1.34; 4th 1.00; 5th 0.63.
For me it's because I've broken my last T5 ever!(2nd time for me), I love to drag race(track 5 minutes from house),I power shift,and I plan on throwing some nitrous at this motor(should be in the 550-600ft lbs tq area), and in the next 2 years I should have the dart block together. So while I planned on throwing a TKO in at the same time as the 363 I'm just pushing up the time table(or should I say the weak assed T5 did). But if you never get abusive with a T5 they last...for awhile.Out of plain curiosity, why are you N/A guys going for the billy badass transmissions? That is an ass-ton of money that I couldn't ever justify spending unless i was making mega-boosted-HP, wealthy, or powershifting the dog doo doo out of it at the track. I understand the do it once, do it right thought process, but that's nuts.
