Default T5 inquiries

i know that this might be far fetched but this is what i have... a built LT1 with 300 shot N2O and a ford 9" with 4.11 gears in the back. now comes the transmission, i got a T5 for free from a friend. it is a 92 world class and i know that the torque that i will be making will rip a stocker to pieces so i was wondering if anyone knew of a company that made an upgrade that could withstand some beating?

i wouldnt bother with a t-5. a t-56 is much better. stock they handle much more power and you still have the 6th gear for that big rear gear u got

Your best option is the A5 gear set from Astro Performance if you want to use the T5 . Personally I think thats a waste of time and money . I'd look into a T56 or a Tremec TKO600 .

Then the A5 kit built T5 is not an option either . You might consider going with a built up TH400 .
