Default TKO 500 or 600?

Which of these would you recommend for a 410rwhp EB turbo? The 500 you can use the original clutch and tailshaft( just installed a brand new six puck clutch). Whereas the 600 you have to change the clutch and modify the tailshaft. Is the 600 really worth the extra stuffing around?

I didn't relise there was that much diffrence bwteen the 500/600. I thought the main diffrence was the gears/bearings.

Does the 600 have the 26spline fine tooth input shaft?

Ask in the driveline section and you will get an answer from Ben who is an expert on this kind of stuff. I would go the 600 just for the extra strength.

You can never have enough durability.

When the time comes I will be replacing my TR 3550 with either a 600 or a C4.

T5 is still hanging in there we'll see how it fairs after tonight at the drags. TkO 500 is around $4600 including belhousing and everything to bolt straight on using existing clutch. TKO 600 is around $4900 but have to change tailshaft and clutch.
