I don't mean to make the rivals or anything, but basically, the stock T5 isn't going to work with my 450+ turbo car.
dd says good to 330 ft-lbs
gforce says 600
dd price is 449
g force is 1095
i'm broke
what do i do?

Look for a used Tremec 3550 or TKO.

I agree...

I did make 540RWHP+/742RWTQ through a T-5 I build but I know it was on borrowed time if it ever hooked at the track.

I'd go TKO if you can, they will last with what ever changes you do in the future.

Ya the tremec's are nice but I would say go with the gforce because you get to keep all your t5 parts such as the shifter,bellhousing, and clutch.

if rick agrees, than im on that boat jrichker knows his stuff too. look for used, sometimes you might even be able to trade your running t5 + cash.

FYI, stock stuff will swap over to a 3550 Tremec, the TKO is the fine spline so a new disc, and driveshaft yoke are required, along with a bell.

If you don't have a blowproof bell GET ONE, save your toes!

T5 weighs approx 75 lbs dry, the Tremec 3550 weighs 100 lbs. See http://www.ttcautomotive.com/English/products/ for more information

i bought a used tko with steeda shifter, clutch fork, etc. Should go in pretty easily. got it all for 1050. Hopefully it's all still good by the time my car runs!

also the g force trans states 600hp with the mainshaft upgrade....thats extra so you're looking at prob 1400total minus soft parts.
