    what sorta hp you making..????

    lots go for a T5 (its a bolt in) up to 400hp
    above that I would go a 5 speed Tremec as neither a T5 nor a Supra box can handle that

    Even at less than 400 hp be kind to the T5. Change smoothly and don't hammer the crap out of it and they last very well. 4000 rpm clutch dumps and flat changes will kill them quick smart.
