Did you already spend more then $1 on a T5 swap?

A T5 is a POS. Don't waste the time. Plus you realize the 700R4 warranty is probably not transferrable.

why would you swap a 700r4 for a t5? you realize they never put them behind the L98 because they could not handle the torque...

Here is my whole deal with that.
They didnt put the T5 behind the L98, but they put it behind the more powerful LB9? I never figured that out, and never got an answer why.

well, after some research .. hes technically right.

no, i don't know how acurate these numbers are on the TGO tech data, but in 87, the l98 was rated at 225hp. In 92, the G92 LB9 was rated at 230 .....

Interesting ....
