New or rebuilt. Most likely D&D

it depends on what mods he has if he is close to stock that is a lot of cash to drop for any of those trannys and are way overkill for a stock car. i have seen a couple of astros hold up to some big power.

its stock now but for how long? why set yourself up so it can break again and waste even more money when you could have done it once, done it right. your car is only as strong as the weakest link. right now the #1 downfall is the T-5. its hardly enough to handle stock conditions.

i throw over 400 rwhp at my wc t5 and thrash it on a daily basis and it has been in there for about 2 years now. i have a buddy that has a turbo 5.0 with the top built astro t5 and he puts 600 to hthe wheels and has been stron for about 14 months now. hmm why are these trannys holding up to this power? and he is putting what 200 to the wheels?
