Re: anyone running a tremec 6 speed?

We took the truck on her first trailer pulling job on a 2 day campout. The close ratio 6 speed worked pretty well. No problem finding a gear in the torque range. First gear felt a little tall, but would get going with some clutch feathering. On the freeway I was surprised to see the little 350 pulling well in 5th at 55mph reving 1800 rpms on level ground. I could definatly feel the 3000 lbs back there. Acceleration was slower, but cornering was surprisingly snappy with the low ride height and stiff sway bars.
I think the 4.11 gears are about right for my use. Without the trailer they are a little short, but I don't need to cruise at 80.
