Your t-5 will blow up very quickly. My frined has a hot 305 and his blew with a 305. The rel question is though are you goung to rag onit. If you do it will break. If you don't it ill last longer then break.
YES AFR are the best aluminum heads out there.

bad driving is what destroys these transmissions. Ive got 25K miles on mine behind a 350 hp LT1 with lots or street racing, powershifting, and autocross on it, and with a total of 158K miles on the trans, Im just now needing to replace the synchros. but thats just from a messed up clutch I had a while back. these transmissions are stronger than people think.
