What type of tranny do yall recomend for HIGH performance applications?

I was thinking about a TKO or a C4 but that means that I have to go atuo and I don't want to do that right now. I'll stick with stick

Also... what are the specs on them? How much torque can they handle?

What is the MAX torque a stock T5 can handle?

It depends what you mean by "HIGH" performance. A 8 or 9 second strip only terror or a 12 sec daily driver?

Many strip/street driven Mustangs have had great success with a properly built C4. I, on the other hand, just love rowing through the gears.

A TKO and 3550 are very similar. I think the TKO has more splines on the shaft, but I think that's about it. 3550 is rated at 400 ft. lbs. The T5's vary on model (T5Z, Worldclass, etc). But, I think they go up to 350 ft. lbs.

You could always have it proshifted, but that may present some driveability issues for a daily driver.

I am looking at something that can handle around 600-700HP. I was thinking about a TKO II
