Claiming 450hp rated t5??

[ol'red]

I found a guy, claims that he rebuilds and sales whole t5s rated for 450hp...for 900$ with a 6 month or longer warranty i forget. Any thoughts gentlemen? Has a shop and everything. Scobee transmissions in indiana.
I've got 2 t5s (core trade) that i would put in toward that 900$
His card says he specializes in mustang transmissions.:popcorn:

T5z gearset billet cluster support an soft clutch possibly for lil while. If u shift like me no I'd bust it.

[pegasus]

try it then beat the hell out of it if it breaks get your money back and then some since your trading cores

Are you saying this is why its $900 hundred? I guess thats bascially my question how could you make the t5 rated for 450hp for and sell them for $900 bucks?

hmm, guess ill be trying it. Ill update this thread, when i do.

Keep the drag radials off if want it to live an no more than king cobra clutch. Most trans places will tell u this. Gearset used be $350 an $60 for support plus $100 for cheap syncro kit wb earings so he's making lil money.

There, fixed it for ya. lol. I've done hundreds of T5 rebuilds over the years. Most people on here are not old enough to remember me running 10.6's on a windsor T5 on small shot combo. I did it for years. They work if you can shift and you use a soft clutch.
With that being said, the parts from Tremec are now either being discontinued or are tripling in price. Most of the rebuilds you see out there are using import parts. I try to use everything Tremec I can, and only use import stuff for the parts Tremec doesn't supply or are on intergalactic back order. Chances are it's a decent T5 and he's not getting rich selling them.

Back in the day Rodney Massengale (RPM transmissions current day) was building pretty stout T5s pretty cheap but he also had access to complete gear sets and all the parts directly from Borg Warner 15 minutes from us up in Muncie. I did a google search of said shop and builder and got zero results. It's a gamble but if he will back the warranty it's worth a shot. Are you planning to put that much power through it ?

[ol'red]

im trying to get 400rwhp, stock long block, maybe gt40 heads and new springs and some exhaust reroute haha.

[ol'red]

What clutch do you recommend nxcoupe?

[NXcoupe]

Centerforce DF works really well and doesn't shock the trans that badly.

[ol'red]

Ok cool... Question if I turn the boost down and run like 320 or so rwhp on some et streets could I drag it if I don't power shift I've never been down the track and would like to go next year

[NXcoupe]

That sounds reasonable.

I have had excellent luck with ACT clutches. Running a little less power than you are hoping for, but making it work reliably for years now with BFG drag radials and a T-5.

Promotion built my old one and beat it to death no problems..

Yea how much did that cost though?

[SN95N/A]

If your that worried about the t5 holding up just save a little coin up and buy summin you know will take the abuse..

you gonna sell him your T-56? lol

[SN95N/A]

Yeah! I will even throw my house in for the right amount of money lol

[slow86fiveoh]

Keep ur eye out on a 3550 they pop up for around what u are going to spend on that t5 and that's usually with a clutch and bellhousing and shifter. Just keep looking before u pull the trigger

[ol'red]

Ok will do. My main thing is I have two t5s for core trade in so it would cost 500$

[slow86fiveoh]

That would be cheap enough, a t5z would prolly hold up with a soft clutch as mike said

[331lx]

My t5 was 1500 but if I had to do over wouod got a faceplated 600

How much do those run? I'm just looking to run the built t5 for the summer and get a tko or something next winter. i just want a fun street car, to cruise to meets and what not. Maybe 4-5 passes just to see what it has the potential to do with out a decent launch.

[JIMS SVT]

I think my friend has a flaceplated tremec for sale very reasonable. I'll find out more on it.

[93Turbo4v]

Yeah I've got a tko2 that's face plated with 5th gear delete also have bell and driveshaft! Just pm me or text 937-217-3535 for more info
