T-5 Help

I have a 350 with 400+ horsepower. It is a 4th gen borg warner. I bought this setup from someone. He said the tranny was rebuilt. But I have been told that the t-5 is not very sturdy. Can someone giveme some advice?

Re: T-5 Help

If it is a world class T-5 It may survive. Thats what I have with my 355 just over 400 HP. But mine has some Hurst upgrades done to it. You will have to check the number on the trans to make sure.
