Default will tranny hold?

I just bought a 351, and i am lookin to put on gt40 heads and a mild cam. I have a 93 T-5, and i was wondering if the trans would hold up for awhile. I have 3000-4000 miles on a rebuild. I am looking for some track time, and I was wondering if the T-5 would hold up? Also, what is another good 5speed? I heard trmeck makes some good ones, but i have not found any prices yet. And are the trmemcks a stright bolt on? Thanks

If you know how to shift, it'll be ok for a while.

My T5 hasn't broken yet and I bang on it frequently.

That's downtown, right? A buddy of mine works there. I haven't made it in yet though.

Yeah, its downtown. Nice place. The owner's youngest son just made his dad,(Guiseppe), buy him a 95 Prelude. I want to race him, but he cant drive for 6 more months.

Clinton is on the very south end of Whidbey Island. I'm the head chef of Trattoria Giuseppe Italian Restaurant. Giuseppe used to own it, now he has a new restaurant up there.</P>
