A world class T5 may hold up to a few races on an otherwise stock LT1 motor, but it won't last long.. Don't try to use sticky tires to launch and don't try power shifting it.

If you have to spend money on either, I recommend you wait. If the T5 is free, just run it until it breaks. Save your money for the 6speed T56.
