I don't think I'll be doing any burnouts either not sure how much abuse a t5 can take behind a 350. Should last a long time the way I drive. I have got my share of tickets in the past and tires are expensive anyway. buuut I havent had a 3rd pedal behind a v8 in awhile hopefully I can resist the urge.
Thanks for posting bazooka, yes, the T5 will not stand up to much abuse, but the drive-ability factor is my goal with the swap, no racing plans in my future.
