Bill,
Like Keith I run a Richmond Engineering 6 speed.  I agree, keeping the
motor up in the power band is important.  But the real reason I went to the
6 speed is because the lowest rear gear I could get for the IR unit in the
vette is 3.08.  Only if I overdrive it .80 can I hit over 200 mph.

I built the motor to peak at 6,300 rpm.  At 205 mph I'm cranking 6,350 rpm.
Now, if it only develops enough power..........
