I've seen stock cars blow them and I've also seen T5 live behind 11second rides for a couple of years. I wouldn't gamble on it. There are a couple companies now that make gear sets for them (G-Force and Astroperformance). I run a G-Force T-5 in my car....loved it...till I blew 3rd out of it. I'm switching to an auto now...As for the Rear End....throw sticky tires at it and you're gambling....BUT put good internals in it and its golden! The 8.8 is a VERY stout rear when built. I run a Detroit Locker and moser 31 spline axles. Some people do C-Clip eliminators and a spool. The choice is up to you....how hard are you going to hit it? Slicks? Drag Radials? Do you want to drive it everyday? Can you put up with the click-pop-bang and tire chatter that comes with SOME of these traction devices...These are all things we need to know. What are your intentions for this car? We know the power level you want to acheive but how comfortable do you want to be when you get there? What do you want to run at the track? Etc.</blockquote>
