I have a T5 here at my house that I'm trying to decide whether to install or not, same problem. From what I have read about them if they have the 2.95 first gear ratio and are a World class model they were rated up to 330 lb feet or torque. Basically thats the internals of the Z class T5 from the 5.0 Mustangs which I think were in the 300 hp range. I figure I'll slap it in there and see what happens. If a guy wants a tougher T5 G Force makes them good for 600hp or so but I think it'll cost the same as a T56.

I'm no expert here its just what I have read so if you find any great T5 ideas or information I'd love to hear it.
