i could care less if my AOD shifted into OD at WOT but i would like to be able to give it past half throttle in OD without it downshifting..

What im saying is that its not a good idea to have it shift into OD at WOT. Its not a racing gear. You'll burn up the OD band.

with a 5 spd you could top out at 140. but not with an AOD. AOD will not shift into OD at WOT. why would you want to go that fast on the street anyway? very dangerous, especially in a fox.
