Re: T5!

Right, it can blow up on stock torque levels with sticky tires. And even at that I'm giving it too much credit.

It all comes down to the driver, there are several big threads on here where folks with built 400s and several race seasons on a normal T5 and guy with a puny 305 with a miss fire that can blow a WC-T5 weekly.

only thing that I could narrow down, is those who have them last with power, change the fluid near as often as engine oil, and don't use straight ATF like factory, some use a mix of 80/90 n ATF some use 30W oil. [Straight 80/90 is to thick.]

I use 30W oil, as direct from the yard I got it from.
