For the Temec it is 3.27,1.98,1.34,1.00,.68. There is also a TKO that is rated higher HP that has a .83 overdive. They are also coming out with one shortly that has around a 2.87 first gear and .64 overdrive.

GM produces the 200R4 and the 700R4. There are a few companies that will help with the install of one in a Corvette. Can't remember the name, didn't pay much attention to them being a manual trans guy.

For the automatic transmission, check http://www.bowtieoverdrives.com.

The overdrive of the 2004R is 0.68 (same as the Tremec with lock-up) and the 700R4 is 0.70.

I can't wait to find the $$$ and time for the tremec conversion. Shifting is soooo cool!!! :steering:

Re: First drive with new Tremec (Gordonm)

If I'm gonna spend that kind of money, I'm gonna go with the six-speed. It'll be quite a while before I'm able to afford anything like that. congrats gordonm, what kind of rpm is it turning at 70-75?
