Differential/Trans Analyzer
Found this while searching for Tremec 5 speeds for possible swap into my 64 with 4.11's. Was thinking about changing the rear, but now just may go to the Tremec T600 5 spd instead. Pricey, but a real gas-saver long term.

You can input your rearend number, choose a cruising RPM, input your tire size, and it gives your MPH. Go to site, click on GM, etc.
I like the snap of the 4.11, but not necessarily the high rpm's for interstate driving. The analyzer is a neat feature I thought.

I just installed a TKO 600 from American Powertrain, (same as the driven man). Best upgrade I ever made. 
But I had a leak at the tail housing and main case flange. Had to pull it back out yesterday. 
Tremec uses an Anaerobic Flange Sealer and apparently they didn't use enough as it was leaking at the bottom. I cleaned it up and resealed it with permatex ultra gray silicone. One bit of advice, if and when you do get an aftermarket trans, I strongly recommend filling the trans with the appropriate fluid and check for leaks BEFORE you install it in the car, especially a midyear corvette.

I put 411 gears in my 63 , and did not like the high revs .
put in the TKO 600 from hurst Drivelines. No waiting.
They had it at my shop in about a week.
Very nice difference.
Good luck,
Peter
