ok..someones probably gonna say just use the search...but ive tried for the past half hour...im half sick..and now thats ive given you the story ...ill ask the question....my aode in my 94 if shot.....kid i know did a 5speed swap into his 01 or 2000.idk the year exactly..it was a new edge tho..anyway he said he'd help with a swap into mine if i wanted....but i was wondering what kinda power/torque just a plain T5 would hold...i know i hear about people always blowin 2nd when they hit it hard...i just want something thats gonna hold up and not break all the time...right now my cars basically stock....stuff in the sig is it....somewhere down the road..maybe next winter idk...i want to put a vortech on it..but thats quite a ways off...anyway....any input into this is appreciated..thanks

honestly it depends on how hard you shift if you break your t5 imo. I've read stories of stock t5 tranny foxes going 10s with easy shifting holding up for a while. 3rd is what usually goes first.

actually full slicks are what breaks t5's , stay on a cheater and you'll be good

here is a comparo for you, might be the same as the link posted above not sure....

i'll tell you one thing, you'll feel like you added 75 hp to your car , it really makes that much difference

I run a cheater slick and blew 3rd gear on a brand new t-5z trans after a season of racing it with about 400-500rwhp nitrous blasts only put around 2000kms on it since new.

T-5Z is rated at 330 ft/ib of torque a lot less than your putting out

hey guys thanks for all the links and info....honestly the plans not to really drag race it that much at the strip....so the whole slick or cheater probably wont happen for a long time at least...maybe someday ill get tired of a street stang and move up to strip....but ya i just run the cheap sumitomos on the back cuz there 315s and there still cheap...oh and jthorn...ya ive seen ur car on here before when ive been readin and noticed that same similarity lol...gotta say..nice car to you too.....im kinda thinkin this winter is gonna be when i buy my hood...im thinkin cervinis 3 1/2 Cobra R hood....hopefully that all goes to plan an that way next spring the exterior should be done....so when summer comes around n im not in school and can work more again, ill get to go back to go fast stuff...but anyhow...thank you to everyone for the info....now i just need to figure out what i want to do..

Well if I'd ever get all my damn parts painted, our cars would no longer look the same, but paint jobs aren't cheap.[&o]Oh well, just got to keep on saving. Damn thing though isn't it, body parts are fairly cheap, but to paint each of those parts cost nearly the amount the damn part does.

Actually a Mickey Thompson reprsentative told me at a show that ET Streets are more suited (in smaller sizes that the majority of the Mustang crowd would use) for stick cars than ET Drags. The sidewalls are stiffer which helps them hook when you bang a gear. A friend of mine has a 68' Camaro with a 8000 rpm small block and a Jerico four speed. He kept spinning badly when he powershifted second gear. We asked a M/T person what tires to use and he said if you can't hook up with ET Streets and a stick, slicks aren't going to help they are going to spin worse. Doubting what we were told we went to the Hoosier tent and asked the same question we just lied and said he had Quick Time Pros, we got the same answer. So I don't think it matters what kind of sticky dragtires are used,traction, poor shifting techniques, or a lot of power kill T5s which is definitely the case with silver I think.
