T5 and LS?

[dbv8]

Im considering spending what i consider is a lot of money upgrading my T5 box with the CTS upgrade kit.

If i take the plunge in a year or so for an LS conversion in my Chim, will i be able to mate the T5 box to the LS?

Not convinced that little dinky box will take loads of tuned LS drag starts, it is around half the size of my TKO, i had em side by side.

Its not how big it is, its how you use it...

I believe the CTS uprated T5 can take heaps of abuse and still have the very quick gearchange.
Even with an LS in there it should last a long time imo.
Only 1 way to find out.....

Apologies for being the wrong Richard, but he'd have meant this :-

Oh yes. Very interesting.
We need to get all these specials together at the strip sometime.
Whos coming to play at the BNG sprint in September?

Holy feck!
Hope you've strengthened the drive shafts and diff mounts...lol

Thats the ultimate aim.
99% of the cars driving will be under 350 lb NA.
Most drag strip fun will push 450-500 on the gas as i chip away at the ETs and also concentate on winning races and keeping the car in good enough shape to drive home.
At the end of a the season i may turn everything up to 11 and push for a special 1/4 mile time.
