finally drove the T-5Z. More Q's.

Geforce is a whole nother 3000$ animal.

 

Get rid of the lift shackles. Get new leaf springs of have them rearched....

 

Back when I bought my T5Z from D&D (1996?) it cost $999 + $60 shipping to my door and included the correct speedometer driven gear to put on my cable. The early version has a -249 on the ID tag and was made by Borg Warner. Later -251 models are made by Tremec. Best thing you can do for these is buy a good aftermarket shifter.

 

I think my next purchase will be some new shackles (mine got destroyed in removal thus the lift shackles) and springs.

I still am unsure on the springs in the respect that they may raise the rear of the car way too much.

 

Sure is. Their web site says a g-force conversion will handle 600HP and 500 ft/lb in a 3,300 lb car with drag radials.

 

I found one on corral for around 1900$ but it had straight cut gears lol.

I am used to clutchless shifting with my motorcycle but I highly doubt the supercharger whine, and tough downshifts around town would be worth it.

For half the price the Z is a decent deal. When rebuilders want 900+core for a rebuilt to stock specs t-5 in my area the 1600$ for the NEW trans was a no brainer.


Plus I doubt my motor makes more than 300ft lbs anyways. So even with slicks I think it would live awhile.

 

Yeah that trans should be fine for you MrP. Mine on the other hand will definitely NOT be ok for me!

 

Wow, it didnt take you long to save up the pennies did it. By far the best Trans to have in a Mav is the T-5, after you drove one that is T-5 equipped nothing else compares to it.

 

I unfortunately had to sell a few things to buy the box.
