Are you going to haul anything with the truck. It is kind of out of out of the ordinary to put a T5 in front of a 2 speed, but it should work. It depends on which T5 you get. The world class T5 will handle a pretty beefy engine. An OD transmission is the only practical way to go faster. That is if you have enough HP to pull it, the steering to keep it on the road and the brakes to stop it.
