LT was second at Hallett. My car sat for over 10 years and has three race weekends under it without an issue of the LT-I'm not going to blame the fire on the LT's plastic fuel lines.

For everything discussed I think the most unreliable part would be the T5. The T56 you can't hardly break at our power and tire.

Do you have or can you use your existing exhaust with the LT? Just looking at all the small stuff that goes into either and where you want to put your energy.
Bryan,

I have been youtubing T56 rebuilds. Seems like it is within my capability. I need to learn this stuff, and a good excuse to buy some more tools like the depth gauges ect. Could always bring the T5 as a backup trans. The current 305TPI is running the aftermarket headers that the rules allow. I'll have to use the factory LT Headers, and your right, I might be able to bolt the current exhaust piping right up to the headers or at least minor adjustments made. Maybe another headache averted.

The good news is I get to make up my mind very shortly.
