    I have a 95 GT w/ 130k miles on it. Pretty much stock but still runs strong. I just replaced the transmission with a t5 tremec. My question is if I put a supercharger on my 5.0 will the trans be able to handle the extra horsepower or would I need to build it up? I'd hate to blow the trans I just put in it... and its a remanufactured t5 - not a new one and is suppsoed to be built to factory specs.

    I've had both, Vortech and H/C/I combo. Personally, I would do the top end of the engine first, and do it right. If you're not satisfied with that, or want to push the limits of your stock block/transmission, which you will be doing, drop that T-trim or the S/SC trim on it.

    Transmissions usually break because of power shifting or driver error. 100 extra hp shouldn't hurt it if you know how to drive.

    Dyno results... I hit 319 with everything in the sig except the ignition, heads and cam on a dead stock longblock. Heads cam and ignition pushed it to 390 rwhp.

    I wouldnt put a supercharger on any car that is over 10 years old no matter how many miles are on the clock. All the seals in the motor age dried out over time and WILL leak. Supercharging it just speeds up the leaking process.

    My cam was the .614 lift and I had the super cobra jet heads on it. It was 11.5:1 Comp. Sounds like you have a good set up. I had the same stall, probably could have used more. That motor did not come to life until about 4k Good luck!!!
