I'm currently planning out my AOD to T-5 swap.
Right now I am thinking I will just go with a freshly rebuilt world class T-5 and drive it until it breaks. Then, rebuild it with the Gforce kit which is rated 600hp/500tq.
As long as I could get a good 10-20k miles out of it before it craps out, that will be fine with me.
I have a 5.0 with trickflow tw heads, TF trackheat intake, f303, full exhaust, etc. Previous owner built it and said he said when he dynotuned it it made 340whp. I never saw any dyno sheets, so that is likely an exaggeration, but I wouldn't doubt it's somewhere nearby at least, this car feels very stout.
The car will be street driven and will never see the drag strip. No powershifting, and no hard launches. I do like to get on it occasionally, but usually only when I'm already moving along pretty good like when getting on the freeway.
I have a feeling that I will be fine, but lost confidence in the standard T5 when I blew one out in an almost-stock mustang. Granted, I was younger back then, had poor driving habits, and I don't know what kind of abuse the trans took from the previous owner.
