Can the T5 handle the X?
Simple- Can the T5 Tranny handle the power of an Xcharged 4.0? I used to think I was going to have to replace it but after about 1000 miles with Amsoil its behaving rather nicely actually
Or should I make that judgement after I put the X in?\
I ask because im thinking about getting a SPEC clutch, and i dont think theyre interchangeable between the t3650 and T5. Neither is the aluminum driveshaft

NICE if I can use the clutch interchangeably thats what I wanted to hear
Pascal, 8.8" rear w 3.55s, 3.73s, or 4.10s are already planned for December/ January. Ill put in a SPEC clutch and dual exhaust at the same time.
After that, I would plan to Xcharge as soon as I could get the $$$. And then run the T5 and stock shaft untill either gives out and then replace both with a T3650 and aluminum driveshaft unless anyone sees a fatal flaw to that plan
Also, do I need to plan on putting hi flo metallic cats in with the X?

I didn't shorten the factory driveshaft, just the aluminum. Hell yea its worth it, the car feels so much quicker and smoother with it. It also gets rid of a lot of the vibration you get at highway speeds (well I did) with the stock one.

No need for the high flow cats as far as I can tell on my car.
And for the gears, you may want to stay away from the 4.10's. The Xcharger builds torque very low and you will find first gear useless with that steep a gear. I have the 3.55's and that was what Lidio at Alternative Auto suggested with the torque curve - 3.73 is possible but will make first a little short as well.
