Which tranny to use??

Welling have desided it will be a mopar 8 3/4 or 8.8 of which I have both, now for the PP 12a I know I need a very close ratio transmission, I can get a turbo II tranny fairly easy, I have a rebuilt T5 i don't know what model but its from a V8 car, should I use one of these or what would you suggest? Thanks, Mike

Turbo 2 tranny I would say is much much stronger than a V8 stock T-5. T-5's are known for being like glass! I've heard of plenty of T2 cars in the 10's.

Weight and engine power is the breaker of parts.

How fast do you plan to go? What power level and what weight is the car?
