Each tranny choice has it's purpose .... Dependes what you want to do with it . Full race car , street strip car , every day driver ? In my opinion if your looking for streetability that includes any kind of highway driving .... I would suggest the Lentech AOD with a 3000 stall \ lock up converter . Expensive tranny , but you get what you pay for . The best part is it's warranty ..... covered for two years no matter what .

I'm with scotty on this one "AOD with a 3000 stall \ lock up converter"
thats what i was figureing is the aod but ive heard some horror storys about them popping into overdrive at random times and them blowng up commonly...ive heard the powerglide is more of a race tranny but with the ratios it has with a enough high reving motor it could go on the high way for a bit and still be streetable i dunno thats basicly why im asking
stock block bored and stroked bottom end gurdle, race aluminum heads not sure what to get yet with rocker gurdles, valley gurdles on a carb set up with 150-250 shot of nitrous im saying 700 on nitrous

im doin a glide but i relize street car and track car is hard to have both id do a c4 or a aod if you are gonna drive on street depends on the setup ...if i did it over again id prob do a glide like i am or a gforce 5speed

700 at the motor and i was thinkind a c4 for between both or even an aod just wanted to make sure because the powerglide would be good but not very streetable
If you have not done so yet .... check out Lentechs web site http://www.lentechautomatics.com/aodcustomers.html These are the best AOD's you will find . They have AOD's that will take 1500 horse no problem . They are a little pricey ... but it will be the last tranny you will ever need . If I was to build another stang and I wanted to go auto ... this is it .
