I think the T-5 will hold up to more power than most people realize. Most destruction is caused by driver error. My T-5 has gotten me to the sixty foot mark in 1.315 seconds, 10.40's in the 1/4 @130-132MPH, all motor. I do believe no one has done it quicker! Furthermore, my T-5 is bone stock except for a steel bearing retainer and synthetic fluid. I have over 75 passes on this tranny with most sixty foots in the 1.35-1.38 range. Of course I don't powershift, but who would expect a T-5 to live behind a powershifted 600 horse motor. When someone tells me they tore up a T-5 with a 12 or 11 second motor, I wonder, was it the power, or the driver?....James
