So my 351w has now 10000 miles on it roughly, still using my mickey t's et streets and still my stock t-5 from 1983 refuses to give up. I do 4000k dumps at the track, consistent burnouts, running the gears. nothing wants to give. The only thing so far that has been destroyed by the 351w was the stock 7.5 rear end 2 years ago, which i replaced with an 8.8 and still works great. My hardened pushrods just recently started to give way so i had to replace those along with a few lifters. I am using a stage 1 king cobra clutch right now which has also never slipped or broke.

I believe this t-5 is not even a world class, just a standard t-5, never rebuilt just routine tranny flushes. Are these transmissions really this strong?

When I ran them I did the same as you...except 5k launches...stil though,But I ran ones out of the 96' V6 cars. Always lasted for me as well until I put a nasty clutch in....then the grenading commenced...hence the C4 I have now...haha

all depends on how it's used or abused
