Hey Herb, congrats with your new parts !
what is the reason of your change of trans from the Richmond to the keisler ?? Ciao Andr� > Actually, Christmas has been a slow and painful process. I planned early > last summer to do these changes over the coming winter so I had to get the > parts. I originally wanted the 600 because it's rated for 600hp/600lbs but > I didn't like the gear ratios it had. The 500 ratios are 3.27, 1.98, 1.34, > 1.0, 0.68 compared to the 600 with 2.87, 1.89, 1.28, 1.0, 0.64 (0.82 > optional).

It's rated > for 550hp/550lbs and I'm expecting (according to Dyno 2000) to be in the > 550-600hp range.
