The 5.0 lever ain't the devil. It's the best of them all. As long as you run the wider front band like it was designed to be used with, you will be fine. Also, you may even need to run a wider drum to accommodate the band. As long as you run the right stuff, you'll have zero overlap. The Hemi transmissions didn't overlap a damn bit.

Greg's actually right. Yrs. ago when I first looked at them I thought the same as you that the 5.0 lever would apply and release faster but it doesn't. Just as the driveshaft on a vehicle with 4:10 gears has to move farther (more revolutions) than a car with 3:23 gears, the higher ratio lever causes the servo to have to move farther to apply the band. If you notice the recommended adjustment for the 5.0 lever is 2 turns, where-as the adjustment for a 3.8 lever is more. The servo only has so much stroke length so their making up for it by having you adjust the band tighter.
