combo is a 3300 lbs with driver notch
car HOOKS went a 1.79 n/a 60 ft and a 1.59 on a 125 60ft.

But the car wont mph to save its life.103 on motor and 112 on bottle.

has a 3000 stall 3.73s and 28s.On the wire this fucker should have trapped atleast 115 to 117.It gets in high gear and just dies.Is the tire to tall?or is that just the way aods work.

I ran almost the same exact power with a stick car and went 10mph faster na and bottle.

And the power under the curve is nice,like i said it makes great pop down low 60fts hard and dies in high gear.

What was Your 1/8th mph & ET? You running a locked up converter non lockup? Who is the manufacturer of the stall "not B&M I hope ". What is Your shift rpm in 3rd & what are You going through the trap's at? I was running a 26 inch tall tire with 373's and going through the trap's I have touched the rev limiter at 6500 rpm @ 127 mph, which lead's Me to believe You are going through the trap's way below Your shift point which is killing Your MPH. Plus if You don't have a good converter in there then it is eating up Your MPH with it's ineffeciency.

brilliant, you do that and tell us how it goes

everything about that post was hilarious

nate, is it a stock aod or built, if stock it might be driving through

but more than likely its the converter, those junkyard specials only work in pickups (only if they are blue and white that is )

Well figured out the shitty mph.Tonite had a race setup with a evo for some bling.Did a test pass on the way out and the car drove threw high gear.So then i did a motor pass and i can feel it slip real bad now.New tranny time.

Should i stay with the aod?can i get a decent priced one that will live at 450to 500whp range?If not should i do a c4?i really like the od just dont know if you can make a aod live and not spend a zillon dollars on it.

Cool thanks guys.i was doing some reading and i guess the aod doesnt apply full pressure in high and od like it does in 2nd and low.
Fluid isnt to bad and high gear is still there but its on its way out.I have a mikes ultimate c4 sitting in a box ,but its really for my other fox.I guess no more racing till i get the trans sorted out.Again thanks for the input guys.

Im so torn i can do a real nice c4 for about the aod.Its not like this car makes a ton of power.n/a is 320whp and bottle ranges from 415 to 500 whp.

No You aer'nt making a ton of Hp but still a good amount, but You are probably making alot of torque with the nitrous which is what will destroy the tranny. You need to get a lentech manual valve body so that You put OD on a switch and that leaves You a spot for each gear . Do You do the 1-d-1 shuffle to hold second gear? I went through 2 stock rebuild's and a B&M tranny before I built My tranny & I realized that You absolutley need the lentech valve, tranny cooler, one piece input shaft, I used the red clutches, A servo, and synthetic tranny fluid. They have a list of component's with part #'s on that clickclick site that I linked to earlier in the post. I figure I spent around 3500 on the tranny, manual valvebody "with tranny brake", and converter, but You could save a few hundred by getting the lentech valvebody without the tranny brake bringing You around 3000. I paid to have all the work done on the tranny also , I don't know much about mechanic's inside them so it was a no brainer for Me so You could save on the labor too?
