so your saying for example we have a 2.3t with 300hp ant tq and a 351 with the same power that the 351 would destroy a t5 in a drag racing senario because it has more low end torque? i dont know about that. even though it may have a bit more grunt on the low end, in most case's a forced induction engine especialy a turbo charged one will reach its max torque before a n/a engine will. i dont see why i t5 couldnt be used on a 351 unless its something like a 400 hp/400tq 351, but then i wouldnt put that same t5 on a 2.3t with the same power ether.
