Picked up another T5, yea I know I know....But anyway, it has been upgraded with parts from D&D and has the steel bearing retainer. I got a Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch, and wait for it, wait wait....a Procharger

Cant wait...weeeeeeeee. Come tax time, the heads and intake will come. Hoping to just get 300 at the wheels for now.

Still got to do some upgrades on the suspension, but Im just taking it slow.

So is this stuff all installed? If so how about some pics?

It's not installed yet. Still fixing and welding up the torque boxes and floor pans from all the hell I've given it in past years.

Old pony cars can be fun but they can be a hell of a headache too!

So is the supercharger installed yet? I would think that T-5 is looking to blow up again, so if it isn't done, hurry up already!!

The tranny sounds like the Z version. Those will usually last awhile with up to 350 lt-ft rwt, but they aren't rated to go that high. Good luck with it... When it goes, get an automatic.

Which model did you get anyway? Even a P1SC should net 300rwhp with little tuning. Be sure to use 24 lb injectors though. It's just safer and they'll survive much longer than 19's.

P600B. The car it came off of was making 400rwhp with Edelbrock heads. So it should suit me just fine.

Install got posponed as my #1 injector has quit pulsing and stays on all the time. Working on tracking down a shorted ground on the injector. If thats a no go, then its time for another A9L.

Remember Automatics are for wimps and women

I'm a bit surprised at 400rwhp from a P600B, but hey...

The wimps with autos usually get to race longer than the tough guys with T5's.

I hope you're right, Rob...I just swapped my TKO for a 1.80 straight cut glide and BTE 9" converter
