How much HP/TRQ can a Factory T5 take...

some people blow them with a stock engine just beating the piss out of it.

yup...i did

it all depends on how its driven. some people drive 600 hp cars on them without a problem, and some people blow them with a stock engine just beating the piss out of it.

with a mild h/c/i i dont see it causing a problem. maybe with the blower i would look into another transmission.

he said it right there, depends how it is driven, I used to drive mine hard, and went through 3 of them because of that...If I got another one id be dif...but Im just poking around in my big ole aod haha

Try this site for transmission ratings. It is incomplete but good on the T-5's.
