I went with the T5z, a little tougher than the T5. I don't plan on trying to rip the transmission and rear end out of the car taking off, just spirited hot rodding.

I'm running a 347 stroker and could not be happier with the whole set up.

What cam are you running in your 347? I decided to go with the F303. Just building this for a mild street racer.

good to know. but I know what you mean with operating it like an adult. I thought going through the gears and flooring it would be too much already.
