coming from many 3rd gen Camaro's, are you guys saying a T5 will hold up to a 350 putting out real power?

Not sure what the fellas are saying...I wasn’t planning on real power any time soon. This T5 should be good for a while

the torque rating on T5 was about GM not wanting to replace a buncha trannies under warranty. kids buying IROC Z's new and dumping the clutch every time the light turned green and all.
