The "World Class" T5Z has a torque capacity of 330ft./lbs...

Well, I have 336lb/ft at the wheels, so considerably more than that at the flywheel. So far, so good. And I do powershift

edit: also need to consider vehicle weight for load. Think your car is a little lighter than mine...

no no, i have a tko in the cobra, i am looking at buying a mustang tommorrow, it has a t5z, i was hoping it was strong enough to handle the power i want to put through it, it would really cost me if i had to put a tko in it, and it should be fine since i definetley wont powershift,l atleast not until i can afford a tko anyway

I ran the T-5 behind s-trim,heads,cam,etc. with no problems... until the car was stolen. I had approximately 400RWHP. Also ran Pro 5.0 shifter. No need to go through the syncro's.

Just to clear up a common mis-concetion.... all 1986.5+ T5's that came in 5.O Mustangs are considered "World Class" and the 1989.5+ T5's are actually a bit stronger.

I ran "MANY" T-5s in my car when I was running about 310 RWHP on motor.Oh wait that isnt what you wnated to hear was it?..............I only went thru about 5 though so its kewl.But that was leaving the line at 5,000 plus with a car that hooked............

Hehe

anyways all the T-5's from 85-up are considerd "WORLD CLASS" "Z" Specs. Meaning roller bearings instead of needle type,steel bearing sleeve and a better first gear ratio(some).These tranny carry a number on the code tag folowed by a "Z" FYI

If you are running DR's you shouldnt have any problems as long as you arent beating the sh$t out of the tranny.....

You guys are saying that the trannys that Ford used in the 93 Cobras were the same from 90 on up?
