Got the car back together and driving, now with 3.42s, before 3.08s. Right now it's fine, but eventually I'd like to be able to take the car on the highway and not be screaming Rs. I wanted to go with the TKO600, but right now $2k is out of the question. Heard from different people that a T-5 can be built to handle some power. Is this true? How much power, and how much to build? What transmission do I need to get?
For a background on the car, it has a mild 454, iron heads, guessing power is about 350-375, right now has the 7.5, but found a EB 9" with 3.50s. I think with this gear and the OD of the 5 speed would make for a nice driver. Car will not be drag raced, but will have the occasional clutch dump and speed shifting. Tires are 295/50s.
