I've been reading up on the T-5 and on the Tremec T-3550 and Tko's. I know that what it will come to how strong I build my engine. What I'm a little vague on is what the torque rating is referring to. Is it the amount of torque the engine is putting out, or is it the resistance between the engine and the tires.

I doubt that I would take my car to the track often, perhaps once every once in a while, if anything once a year. I do want a car that can pull a 0-60 mph in less than 5 seconds, and more than likely will not have more than 375 hp, and this is on a built 289/302. Thanks for your reply.
