Hi everyone.. I am hearing too many this or that stories. Is the T4 better than the T5 ?... Should I use a Jeep 4.0 5 speed with adapter plate in my Camaro or use the T5 W class tranny ?.. I am confused.. Here is the gig.. I have a l98 aluminum 350 rated at 275hp 305tq. Everyone says even though I have less hp/Tg than a decent corvette etc.. the tranny I am going to use can't handle anything over 250 Tq and 225 hp ?.. WTF ? THEN I get a Mustang "Guru" saying his T-4 82 4 speed is stronger than the T-5 non WC 83 Firebird tranny I have.. THEN to laugh harder.. I get jeep "guru" saying his jeep 4.0 5 speed can be adapted with an adapter plate (but won't say what tranny he has to be exact to avoid being laughed at if I beat him at the track) is stronger than both our trannies and it will work with clutch etc and be a drop in to my camaro ?... I really need some advice on what I should use. I want to run this car in Ontario Canada 1 or 2 runs in the 1/4 and after that I am using it for a daily driver (minus winter as my igloo has no storage LOL).. I don't intend to side step the clutch every day or act like I have the fastest car in the world as I know I DON'T !! Any advice other than hang yourself will do :) Thanx all
