Tremec or World Class T-5?
My tranny is going out. I'm gonna replace it real soon, but should i go with the World Class T-5 or the Tremec. I've heard some bad things about the Tremec, and nothing but good about the T-5.
To give an idea about my car since i don't have any info posted yet. It's an 86 gt with a 347 and 6 psi blower. Trick flow upper and lower, aluminum heads, msd ignition, 90 mm mass air, 75mm throttle body, 30lb injectors, and much much more.
So Tremec or T-5? What y'all think?

RE: Tremec or World Class T-5?
What's a good site to look at the tremecs then? Only place I found decent pricing is jegs and summit.
Plus what about bolting up the tremec. Bellhousing, Crossmember, and other issues. Notto mention i heard tremec doesn't back uptheir product.
It's just a street car never been to the tracks, think the T-5 would hold up?
Money is somewhat of an issue, but wouldn't mind saving longer if that means doing it right. But! is the tremec really worth 800 dollars more?

Yes i have one. I love it and have never had a problem with it. I bought mine slightly used. Just google the tranny and you can find the prices. I Believe they are about $1900 new.

pick either...they are the same thing
tremec t5 = borg-warner t5 , and all t5's in a 5.0 from 1985 and newer are world class
easier choice now ????

RE: Tremec or World Class T-5?
id personally go with a street/streep c4 trans. there cheap, reliable, and easy to work on. i got a guy who sells these for real cheap and they handle from 600-??? hp. i got a c6 from him and not a problem in about 4 years. i know its an automatic, but just get the automanual and its like a 3 speed with no clutch. i believe its more efficiant then bangin through all those gears. well thats just me.
