RUN, my T5 is going to blow!

cyberstang5.0 · 03-01-2002, 08:59 AM

How much HP and Torque can a stock T5 handle? I am about to a MAJOR upgrade to my baby

, and I am scared that my trany will not longer be there after I romp on it.

What other kind of trany are good for handling LOTS of HP? I was thinking about either a TKO (for a standard) or a C4 (I'll have to convert to auto).
