- -> At the moment GM offers the SPA performance package for Camaros and
- -> Firebirds upping the performance by about 50Hp. The modifications are

- -> How about the Mustang GT? Is the GT transmission limited, that is,
- -> can it be stressed over a max. torque of 310ft.lbs ?

- The BW T5 transmission they use is rated at less than 300 ft-lbs.
- Except for minor case differences, it's the same as the one used in the
- Camaro. Ford's C4 is slightly less strong than a T350 but much stouter
- than the 700R4 or T200.
-
- Warner has a new second-generation T5 out, but I don't know what cars
- it's being used in, if any.

- Screw the 5.0. Drop in a 460 and tell the Smog Gestapo your hood
