Do you think a T5 would hold up to the power your 6.0 would be putting down? My knowledge is limited when it comes to the T5, but I think you would be better off opting for a T56. Much stronger, better aftermarket support as well.

a WC T5 is rated at 300ft/lb and a NONWC is 250ft/lbs... A T56 is rated at 450ft/lbs, so being people grenade a stock T56 behind stock LS1 motors and stock 305 TPI can grenade a T5. Why would you want to use that transmission that would shatter behind even a 4.8, save money and use a T56 or TKO if you want a manual.
