I'm not sure about the fork, according to the listings at work, the bearing is the same though. I would expect the fork is the same as long as its for a cable clutch. The ratios of the T-5 are better, 1st gear is taller, the spread between gears is good, and the 3rd to 4th gear rpm drop is only about 600rpm so its really right there for the "top end" pull. 5th gear is f'in awesome. With the automatic rear end in my car (3.70 axle ratio) I cruise at 2500rpm doing 65mph. Its only doing 3100 or so at 80! The redblock guys over on T-bricks bitch about how tall the 5th gear is, but thats becuase their sissy ass red blocks don't have any low end torque. 2500 is purring for our engines... It cruises at that rpm easily.
What does your engine have done to it? Any head work, NA cam? There isn't a whole hell of a lot you can do to the engine itself, but I would be interested to know what he did. My "built" engine is going to be with a ported and polished head, NA cam, and arp engine hardware...
