I make 500 at the flywheel. I run a rebuilt T-5 with parts from D&D. It has the alloy gear set.

I do NOT powershift. I run BFG drag radials (1.6-1.7 60'). Its a 306 with a 150 shot BTW.

Roughly 550RWHP and still using my T5z The only reason it's held up is because the tires bust loose so easy. Lord forbid the tires ever grabbed hard (BOOM goes the tranny), Then the G Force T5 goes in

I'm making 625 at the flywheel, and Im running a TKO. Again, when I go to the track, I dont plan to shift hard or get traction. I plan to not warm up the slicks. I can sacrifice some 60 foot to save my tranny. Yes, the TKO doesnt like shifting hard with that kind of power.

see thats a reason why i wouldnt want a tko.. How bout a tremec?

Are those the same trannies? is TKO the Mustang and the tremec being a cobra or a saleen.. You guys follow me ?

Is TKO the companies name an tremec being a model ?? Or are they two different tranny's ?

So if i want a nice smooth shift then i should keep my t5.. What do you guys think of the viper 6 speed ??

Tremec is the transmission company. They have different models of transmissions the tko, 3550, 3650.
I have a tremec tko that is modified by x2c motorsports it is supposed to handle 650+ ft lbs of torque.

for the gears including splines its 1900 i believe.. And then you have to get a housing an a new pressure plate, so im guestimating for a complete rebuild it will cost aroudn 2350... But thats re-using ur old T5 which i dont know if im too fond of that !

supposly there supposed to withstand 650+ hp
