good ol t-5

[slow88stang]

I am interested to know what kind of abuse a t-5 can take. if i was pushin 325hp then a 150shot on the side would it hold out or not like it at all?

For every weekend racing I say no if it is aging!! I would say, depending on which T5, 325 hp is about it at rear wheels!! However the most important thing is torque that is what kills the T5 along with hole shots!!

Yup, the older a T-5 gets, the more it wants to grenade itself. The T-5 out of the 94-95 cars is supposed to be the same as the world class T-5, but we blow ours at about the same rate.

Man i just blew my t-5 and my car is stock. It can't handle a shot of nos for long. Maybe not even a single run, you never know

it's really a gamble. i've been running a 4cyl t-5 for quite a while now with no probs, but i'm mostly stock and don't run any type of sticky tire.

The 342 I had fried my T-5 pretty quick and the second gear synchros were pretty toasted too I guess powershifts didn't help toat too much... it liked to pop out of second under full throttle sometimes... I would save up some money for a real tranny
