"Why ask this, you say? Well, my stroker motors push out over 400 ft-lbs,
and the five speed T5s that fit inside the Tiger tunnel are not capable
of handling that level of torque unlike our faithful Toploader. Plus
with that amount of low end grunt the car will launch off the line hard
in pretty much any gear you choose.

Any thoughts?"

 
 





Back in the day they made just what you needed:  Hone - O - Drive!  Here is a
link:  http://www.stangerssite.com/honeodrive.html  Hone - O Drive came in two
types, one that bolted directly to a Ford differential (don't know if you
could bolt it on the Tiger differential) and one that installed in line with
your drive shaft and differential. You shifted into overdrive via a lever that
was mounted in the car.   I'm sure they could take the HP you are making since
they installed them in Baldwin Motion cars of the 1970's.
