TKX performance improvements?

I know that my car was quicker with the automatic but I like driving it more since I converted it to a Tremec 5 speed.

Fuel economy isn't my main goal but reduced noise on the freeway, 80 mph at 2300 rpms and better fuel economy are great things to have.
The TKO that I have isn't as smooth shifting as the TKXs are supposed to be.
The close ratio has a taller 1st gear. Something like a 2.87 1st versus a 3.27 with the wide ratio.
Wide ratio units are great for stock or close to stock engines with a wide power band. Higher performance engines make power in a narrower range so the close ratio units are much better for them.
