Good one!!
Seriously, If you have a good Super T-10, I think you would be much better off selling it, and putting that money towards a proper race transmission. When I first built my M/Stock Mustang, I too thought that the factory T5 would be good enough to get my feet wet, unfortunately, the wetness came from oil from the broken T5`s! By the end of that 1rst year, all I had left was a T5 with a bent mainshaft, and the remnants of 2 other damaged transmissions. And that was with a lower classed Stocker, a decent SS/H car should be about 2 1/2 seconds quicker than my Mustang was at that time. Buying a couple of used Jericos was money very well spent. The Jerico in my Mustang has been as reliable as an iron anvil , and the other trans in my 10.0/132mph bracket car went 10 years before it needed any repairs ($300.00 worth of 3rd gear parts.) Plus with a Jerico (or G Force) you can get many different gear ratios, including changing individual ratios, where the ratios in a ST10 will NOT be even close to optimal.
