Everything is off to the machine shop. He said he’ll probably add .0001 or a little more for the boost I’m running. Michael’s racing engines has a great reputation up this way. He said he’ll probably be done in 3-4 weeks.
As i'm waiting for everything to get back from the machine shop I keep thinking I'm most likley gonna kill this t-5 if i launch it hard. So I'm considering looking for a TKO-600. Any thoughts on this or other transmissions in that price range?
Do you mean 3550?There's a bunch. Hanlon will know what you need. He will most likely recommend a TKO600. He can set one up for you and ship it. The 3650s are popular too.

I didn’t think the bell would work on a Windsor block.No, there are a bunch of transmission shops that are taking the 3650s out of the later New Edge Mustangs and modifying them to handle 1000hp.

Did you just get a stock tko? Looks like it’s be strong enough for my application.I bought most of my TKO stuff through Astro,which I don't recommend. I think I was around $3500 with everything.
Yes,I'm not revving the car over 6k rpm or anything. I heard alot of bad things about how it shifts, but I've no issues. Feels like a old school trans to me.Did you just get a stock tko? Looks like it’s be strong enough for my application.

That's not a bad deal at all. I may be able to swing that when everything else is done. we'll see.I'm ordering from Hanlon now. Around 4100 for everything I ncluding transmission modifications ( aluminum bell...not SFI ). About 2 weeks to have completed. Great folks. Bob and Linda are really easy people to deal with. They are legends and stay busy.
Mine came from promotion powertrain years ago.
He always has answered all my questions.
It was a package that had something modified internally and a promotion shifter with tri ax handle.
Included everything needed.
It was a NIB second hand package with clutch, bell, cable, firewall adjuster, everything included needed to install.
With pricing today, i'd guess i stole it at $2000...
