I got a 351w pushing way to hard for these T5's that I keep chewin' up. Any suggestions on what to do. I drive it about 4 days a week, so I was thinking about a toploader, but I do need the overdrive. I was thinking about T56 or TKO. I don't really know how much work is involved.
Any ideas from people that have done this?

Have you looked into a G-Force, or Astro Performance gearset for it? You can get them up there with the TKO in power handling capabilities.

I'd go with the gforce. with the tremec tranny's, you're going to have to cut up your tunnel, + they shift like truck trannies. (which they are)

pinks all out recently had three cars in the 9.90 class all running gforce t5's doing wheel stands
