A 355 with what ?
It depends on how you drive.
There are members with LT1's, 406's with 5 spd trans.
Dont powershift.
If you get a world class T-5 which came in 3rd gens from 1989 (i think) you can have it rebuilt with a G-Force kit, and have a real
tought trans.

I am not familiar with the G-Force kit -- and all web searcing returns to me is the latest selection of nVIDIA graphics cards. Ha! Do you have any more info on this kit ?

G-Force makes an improved T5 and upgrades T5's.
From http://www.g-forcetransmissions.com/tran_gt-5.asp :
"... the G-Force T-5 kit will handle roughly 600 hp or 500 ft-lb. or torque in a 3300 lb. vehicle running drag radials at the track with a moderate clutch upgrade ..."
