I am guessing you do not want this tranny, and for a little more money you can get either a TKO or a T56. I have the TKO and it has a relatively short 1st gear and I would not want anything any shorter like your Richmond likely has.
And I do believe they made a Richmond OD tranny so maybe it does have an overdrive 5th or 6th gear?

At the moment my car is still waiting for metal work to be completed. The engine has not yet but the plan is for a 455 or slighty larger ci.
Richmond does make a true overdrive called the Super Street Overdrive.
I guess my MAIN CONCERN is taking off in 1st gear with high hp. I do not want the car to bog down when taking off. Please educate me on this but do all High hp cars bog down? I am just in the dark when it comes to transmissions, etc.
Do you like your TKO? Is your car a high hp car and if so does it tend to bog down taking off or difficult driving in traffic?
Thanks for your help.
