I have a few questions about a performance transmission. I have build up a 331 stroker engine for the 95 mustang gt, I have put all forged parts in the bottem end so I can slap on a nice supercharger. I was wondering what kind of transmission can handle 450-500hp and love every second of it. I dont have the deepest pockets so i am kinda trying to stay in a decent budget, maybe a rebuild t5 with stronger parts would carry the load? im not sure what options are really out there for me. if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great!

a t5 will work well... you can also go with a D and D transmission like a tremec 500/600 and it will handle 500 ft lbs or torque.. they arent too expensive in comparison to other transmissions but are better than t5s
