Anyone that reads the ratios knows that the 833 OD is not a performance transmission but I had to try one for myself.
My Duster....

Started off a slant six automatic, I swapped in a rebuilt 360 and 833. Later I wanted to try an overdrive just to see how I'd like it.
It was a poor match for the car.
Sometimes the best impression you'll ever get is the one you felt directly from experience.
I've driven several 83-85 Camaros with the T-5 5 speed. They shifted well and the gear spacing felt great. They can't handle immense amounts of power but a slanty isn't a big block so this ought to work out well.
