I can see his point in regards to the cushion for missed shifts in the larger, less dense splines, but that's what I'm trying fix. A transmission that doesn't like to shift above 6000 rpm. I'm going to email George and see if he makes any modifications to the magnum to improve shifting.
I've shifted my LS1 T56 at 6,500 rpm with no issues, and haven't heard any complaints about high rpm shifting in the T56, unlike the TKO600.
