Alright, i did a few searches to find the exact information that i want and i couldn't really find it.
My question is... what are the chances that a t-5 will hold with my 350 vortec crate motor for at least a year or two?
Basically my trans (700r4) blew up and Ive got a few years til i graduate from college (after that pt.. the t-5 trans can blow up and i wouldn't care because i will put a better one in with the income i will have). ANYWAY lol... I just want a manual transmission for my camaro ... and i really dnt want it to blow up in 4 months.
Can anyone also give me some Clutch / pressure plate options that would work well with 350 give or take crank hp.
Thanks alot for any help!!!

thanks dude! and that centerforce II, what about the pressure plate? do you use a light weight flywheel? would you recommend one for longer trans life?

I purchased the kit, which includes the pressure plate.
Yes.
No. (I'd suggest that longevity has more to do with driving style, regardless of weight.) BTW, performance-oriented thirdgens, such as the L69, were equipped with the GM light-weight flywheel, which is the one I'm using.
