Default Astro

I have a A-5 which was built by Astro in FL-it's a T5 with stronger gears,etc, built to take around 500 ft/lbs torque. It's a fine gearbox, smooth shifting and will take some abuse. Of course it's behind a 302 which outputs around 400 flywheel hp. I do have Avons which stick well and don't break lose easily.

My original T5 didn't hold up well, the 2nd gear syncros went out after a couple of thousand miles and my 302 didn't have the mods I have now. It was only pulling 280 rwhp then.

The A5 cost as much as a TKO but I didn't have to change the bellhousing, etc. I've been happy with the A5.
