IMO, a T5 will last if you don't powershift or put sticky tires on and try to launch it at the track. Knock on wood, my rebuilt WC T5 has been just fine behind the ZZ4-cammed TPI 355 in my car for over a year. And, it survived a few years behind the built TPI 305 (223hp/277 ft.lbs at the wheels) before that just fine. I hope to get another few years out of this T5, then upgrade to a Tremec when $$ falls from the sky or we hit the Lottery.
