    I put 400 Hp and 500 ft/lbs. through mine with no issues. Launching on drag radials. NEVER power shifted. B&M Billet Ripper shifter.

      That's the same shifter I use, but I use the pro50 short handle. You don't hear much about them, but I really like the B&M over the tri ax.

        I enjoy my MGW pretty well. I've never intended on ramrodding it on every shift but it's nice to have it when the spirited urge kicks in or if I decide to take it to the track to make a few passes.

          That is the key, power shifting is what will kill any trans.

            I've broken them behind a stock 5.0, and road raced behind a mild 302. The later was on I better than stock rebuild, and is one if the better shifting t5's I've had. If I could feasibly use it behind a 4.6 I would.

              X2. I had HCI and nitrous with 230k miles on never rebuilt 302 and t5. Launched it at 5500 on slicks. Sold everything in fine working order when I put.a 351 and c4 in. I shifted it hard but never powershift.

                Can you recommend such a shifter? I have little experience with them. Do they come with the stops setup properly or do you have to do it?

                      Never used one. I went from a Hurst to the Pro5.0 and that was an upgrade for sure

                        I have broken them with stock motors and had them live with 150 shot hci motors. The mgw is hands Dow the best shifter you can buy!!

                          That's like asking which cam you should get. Everyone is going to have their opinion and believe they have the best one. There are several quality pieces out on the market. You'll have to either research them all and make a decision or see if you can find a few people with different shifters that will let you drive their car .

                          That said, I've had used every shifter on the market and I personally prefer the MGW's shifter.

                            Ive heard great things about mgw shifters. I use the steeda tri-ax and like it.

                              This, with a different handle. I like the hurst short throw handle personally.

                              The Tri ax is a good shifter as well, and I liked the handle. Some retard put another hurst in my car. It had a tri ax when I last owned it.

                                The t~5 case is the weak linc.
