basic info:
89 GT 5.0 convertible
no internal engine mods done yet
SVO T-5 transmission

current mods:
BBK equal length headers
Pypes Exhaust X pipe 2 1/2" diameter tubing
Spintech 2 1/2" mufflers dumped
power pulleys
MSD blaster coil w/ MSD wire set
3.73 axle gears
rear seat removed
SSM lift bars
weld draglite rims

future mods:
vortech supercharger (8-10psi possibly)
holley systemax II kit (if its emissions friendly)
255lb fuel pump
36lb injectors
adjustable fuel regulator
vortech fuel rails

i was looking into the T-5 Z transmission able to hold 330lbs of torque. i was wondering if this could hold my future mods without any real problems? i want to get the tremec TK0500 but my wife isnt going to let me spend that much on a tranny. anyone have any input?
i dont plan on installing the holley systemax kit for a while, i was going to stick with the supercharger first until i get permission to get the holley kit!

You could look into that G-Force kit for the T-5. The kit is $1000 and then whatever it costs to have a shop put it in your existing T5. Supposed to be able to handle 600HP. This is most likely the route I'm taking when my T-5 goes.

Good suggestion. The only thing is that It's a newer product, so who knows exactly how good it is. I've hears so far about rebult T5's including the T5Z that you'll save money with a Tremec or TKO becaue the won't hold up as well.
