Vertigate or V-Gate 2 in Abody pics?

I'm suprised your T5 has lasted more than 10 minutes lol they're definently not known for their ability to handle power. The 833's are impressive, my dad's got an original A body slick shift hemi trans (like 68 dart or cuda) and he'd like to run it on the street, the only problem with the slick shifts is that you can't downshift unless you are at a dead stop, so imagine when you gotta stop for a red that goes green, Dammit! edit: my uncle's been using his V-gate in his Falcon on the street for over 30yrs, he says it's not hard, you just get a few strong fingers lol

yea i know, the t5 was a stepping stone to a tko for me since my bellhousing is drilled for both...i havent even driven the t5 yet, but i dont plan to go easy, so i know its a ticking time bomb lol...i heard that passon has a slick shifted gearset that is street/strip compatible...im thinking though now of just going to the 4 speed with the low gearset (3.09 first) after the t5 breaks, but its all up in the air since i gotta break it first...apparently there are a few tricks to ease your fingers for street driving a v-gate, like cutting the spring for the gate so its easier to pull up on...id like to know how much power an 833 can take (23 spline and 18 spline versions) before i go to one
