I am going to join the choir here.
When I got my COE, I felt that I needed more tranny than the NV4500 I have. So I started looking/researching I found the FSO 5 and 6 series Eaton overdrives were the best mix for my Cummins and the big COE. But the price, outrageous. So I kept looking and when you search for "Eaton" all these RTO 10 plus speed transmissions pop up...and cheap I might add. With the AQMD/EPA gaining in power, they are forcing a lot of truckers to repower or scrap their trucks,( alot of scrapping is happening in California)thus the reason if you look you can get one of those monsters for almost nothing.
Oh sorry got sidetracked. Back to the gist of the story. I couldn't get over the weight/mass/ of these trannies. I feel this would slow you down rather than help.
Still haven't found a reasonably priced SAE2 flywheel housing for my motor and a Cummins motor with a SAE2 is a little more plentiful than 6 Chevy, but maybe there is a C60 out there somewhere with one.
Not to rain on your parade just my thoughts..
