f04682 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hey guys, im looking for some advice. I have a freshly built 347 thats putting down mid 350hp plus I have a 150 shot of nitrous. With spray she is doing 507 to the wheels. Im still rolling the stock T-5, my question is I have a used tremec 3550 for $1000 on the hook. Should I replace the tranny now or because the car NA is only 350hp is this a upgrade that can wait. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 If it isn't broke don't fix it, and if you aren't beating the shit out of it it will live.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokiller Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 it's never a bad thing to upgrade before something breaks, but i would also agree with Zach, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. i haven't looked at t3550 prices in a long time, but if it's a good deal, i would pick it up.

ttocs Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 You know when it breaks your not going to find anything close for that price. It doesn't have to go on the car this week if you buy it. I would get it and wait till the time is right myself. I do this all the time hell I had my side exhaust kit for almost 2 yrs before I could put it on.

revhead347 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 If you wait until your T5 breaks, then your T5 is worthless. There are parts in there to be sold, if not the whole transmission. I would swap it now. I have a similiar setup, very similiar. I can assure you the 3550 will not last forever either. Once you buy it, do a 26 spline input shaft upgrade. It's cheap to do, and only takes a few minutes. I did not do the upgrade immediately and it cost me a tow truck ride back after doing some racing in Mexico. Also cost me another clutch disk when there was nothing wrong with the one that came out. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f04682 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 It goes in the paint shop next month, so I have been rolling the fenders and setting the coilovers the way "I" them ... Yeah I know that a lot of guys in the SN95 world dont like that style but I have had this girl for 20 years this coming December and I have seen A LOT of guys run the same set up. So I wanna go a little different. But lets face it, with a car that is 20 years old, you can never be completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SublimeRT Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Sounds like you have the trans figured out. It will be nice to have the 3550 when the time comes.Looking forward to the paint as well. It sounds pretty similar to @Alex302 car. It came out excellent looking.http://www.sn95source.com/index.php?/topic/4446-finally-got-the-stang-painted--(pic-heavy)I'm still so jealous that you are the original owner of your car. I think that's so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f04682 Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Wow @SublimeRT, I checked out that link and its very close to what im looking for !!! Nice looking out bro, I will definitely show that color to the shop next week. BTW I would like to think that im the original owner, but the truth is i bought the car from someone that only had it for about 6 months. At the time I was wanting a "drop top" but the deal on this one was too good to pass up. The rest is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SublimeRT Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Six months is close enough, I'd say. We'll let it slide. My poor car wandered around for about 13 years before she came home, lol. She's mine from now on though that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
