I would say a t5 on street tires never power shifted would last with 450hp no problem just because it doesn't recieve that shock. its the Blast of 300 lbs of torque from the motor onto slicks that will just destroy it especially if anything isn't installed just right. T5s are good tranny but if your going to race with slicks and stuff step up to something better. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>CobramanPhil</b> <br /><small>Member # 2170</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,9,24,10,50,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> It all comes down to which part of the drivetrain is going to take the force. It's usually front to back (clutch, tranny, rear) that gets hit the hardest (clutch being the first to get hit the hardest). I have a little over 400rwhp/370rwtq and I am still living on my stock clutch and tranny. I do powershift and have road raced the car and it is still lasting...tires essentially being the fuse that keeps me out of trouble... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /><br /> <br /> <small>[ October 24, 2003, 10:52 AM: Message edited by: CobramanPhil ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>KCmustangboy</b> <br /><small>Member # 1927</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,9,24,10,56,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> exactly now go buy some 10inch wide true slicks and see how long that clutch and tranny lasts lol <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>1SLOWLX</b> <br /><small>Member # 558</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,9,24,12,47,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> mine broke on street tires also <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>93mustangt</b> <br /><small>Member # 680</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,9,24,12,48,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by Black94 5.0:<br /><strong> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by 87 Saleen:<br /><strong> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by Black94 5.0:<br /><strong> I've blown 2 or 3(I lost count) with my last car and 1 with my first Mustang....The first Mustang was basically stock..My last Mustang had 254 rwhp and 300rwtq...<br /><br />After installing a Z spec in my first Mustang I had no problems...Then, after blowing T5 after T5 with my last Mustang I decided to rebuild my T5 myself using super alloy gears... </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Was it easy?
