From everything I have read and heard, the T5's will not take much abuse or power. I've read numerous threads of people breaking the T5's behind a mild V8. They just weren't meant to handle the power. I've been thinking about a T5 behind my 250, but I'm just kinda unsure right now. My instructor's father put a T5 behind his inline and it's worked fine for him. He's older though and is really easy on it. You might want to check out the "Tech Tips" section listed on the menu at the left of your screen. They have an article about T5 swaps in there. Hope this helps. John.
