Auto w/ transbreak, shift kit would eat a 5 speed

@Djb3674 Not what I wanted... I'm not a bracket racer I wanted the fun factor! An with the 5 speed it has been!

DO NOT GO TO T-5 GET A BUILT AOD!!!!!!

[89lx5o]

@laford1986 I put in the T-5 and I have no regrets, I know all about auto's and I wanted to go stick for the fun factor. I know the consistency won't be there, but i'm not bracket racing nor hitting the strip more then twice a year.

@SuRihtanil Nascar doesn't drag race.

@89lx5o Sticks put more to the rear wheels and stick trannies respond better... A stick is better for racing if auto was better nascar would have autos. The only way Id use a auto is if my car had 1k+ HP.

My 347 has been putting 400rwtq through the stock t5 for a while.. definitely doesn't like it but it's still together. Just have to drive it careful around 3rd gear.

@89lx5o I hear ya brah. With the T5, just about any type of racing you wanna do is open to you competitively. With a built AOD you'd dominate the street/strip but never really get beyond that. I'd rather be inconsistent and not as fast at the strip than have only the 1320 to play with....

A stock t5 is only good for 350lbs of torque. Id build the crap out of it.....

Ive heard carbon fiber synchros help. The clutch is the major weak link...but that has to do with your rearend gearing also. 3.73's or higher are much easier on your clutch.

@89lx5o Consistancy can be there with a T5, it just takes a driver mod. I can run 14.20s @ 97 mph every run with no problems.

@89lx5o trans brake im tellin ya...
