Thanks a lot for the reply, exactly what I was looking for.
I looked into the RXT, Im definitely willing to spend more money on the quality parts that will last.
As far as the Tilton, the main reason was the quad seal on their hydraulic throwout bearings. I have heard horror stories McLeod TO's, I guess the use a single O ring. From what I have read, over time (sometimes very quickly) it starts to deteriorate, causing it to leak. Im open to any good TO, Tilton just seems to have very good reviews. I haven't done any research on the adjustable portion. I just noticed they have a setup for my application.
I would like to be 2000-2200rpm @ 70-75mph (I think). I have read that a lot of peoples 6th gear is useless or on the close ratio they are going with the .50 6th gear (additional 500.00). If Im not going to use it why not go with the 5 speed?
I was thinking the same thing on the gears combined with the stroker, 3.89's sound like the right choice.
I have no experience matching (manual) parts/gearing for a p/t setup so Im trying to take it all in and do it right the first time. Lots to consider
