Default Tko 600

For you experts and experienced gearheads.
Why wouldn't I put TKO 600 behind my LS2?

No reason not to,it is 50 lbs lighter than a t-56 and usually require less modification to the car to install.

On a budget. T56 appears out of my range.

There is no real good reason NOT to get the TKO unless you have 1400hp. Cheaper, easier, stronger out of the box. If the T56 had more useful gears, it'd be worth it, but 5 and 6 are both overdrives. Choose your rear and your final OD on the TKO based on what you'll be using the car for, and don't look back.

Because you're gonna look back and say, "Dang, I knew I should have put a T56 in it."
