and i GUARANTEE my trans will last just as long as a TKO600 would behind my engine...

not only that but it bolts right in to my bellhousing, drivexhaft, clutch fork and crossmember, all extra $$$$ that is involved with a TKO/3550 swap...

not if you get the kit which comes with every thing and far as the 7200 rpm shift can be achieved with a msd ignition box and i bet it holds up everyone does their build different but why build a t5

omg you have to be kidding...

i dont give a sh*t about the rev limiter, im talking about the synchro's in a TKO not being able to perform a shift at that high of an rpm...

and dont forget im saving ~ 50lbs over a TKO...

ask anyone that owns a TKO (Primetime does IIRC) about shifting over 6500rpms and see what they say...
