RIP stock T-5

[RyanSG]

Yup, gunna go for a new TKO600.... It's not worth trying to save a few bux and end up ripping the trans out again cas i was cheep and blew it up... So start saven and selling the T5 stuff to make way for the upgrade... Does anyone give moola for a broken T5 other then e-bay etc... Rather get something for it then just have it laying around....

The g-force setup isn't strong enough? Seems like the way to go to me. Another benefit to the t5 that wasn't mentioned yet is that it's quite a bit lighter than the tremec. What's the g-force rated for?

Personally from what I have read I like the g-force kit a lot. They say it shifts a lot like factory, whereas the TKO's tended to be hard to shift in the upper rpms, especially with the DOHC cobras which liked to rev near 7k. Also, my shop class teachers son is a machinist for the gforce plant 15 seconds from my school, and his dad is awesome at what he does so thats where I would go.

Well the G-forces are only rated for 500ft... which i'm over on low boost lol... also the shop by my house has had a few of em come in broken (just flaws in the t5 design it'self)... which they promply switched out with TKO600's and seem to be doing good.... Plus for the money the TKO is going to be about the same price and takes at least 100ft more.... It;s one of thoes things, that i need a blow proof bellhousig etc anyway, it's time to just switch over and do it right and go big... Plus it the TKo ever does give out that can also be upgraded even farther lol... which i hope to never need 2 do though ... I do like the g-force t5's and would go with them if i was doing 500ft or low of tq and it would prob would last forever 2... But if i have the chance to switch out and seeing what has happend to a few other t5's... looks like the TKO is the better option for my aplication....
