Might be a good question to post on the HAMB. Believe there are a lot of T5s being driven and there have been a lot of threads on the topic in the past. I have posted on the topic in several HAMB threads myself. Depending on the transmission/gear set you select, it is going to drive (transmission wise) similar to the vehicle it came out of. I like being able to couple a low rear axle gear ratio (I run a 4:11) with an overdrive. But that is with the close ratio T5z mustang STV gearing. If you go with the common S10 transmission gearing the low gear is so low you might want to drive it like a four speed (starting in second gear), but that is just my take on it.
