Well about 2 hours ago, me and a friend went to have a friendly race, he is in his modified lt1 camaro and i was driving my kenne bell 2.2 347 stroker, we did it from a roll b/c he knew from a dig it was pointless for him, so at a 10mph roll we race. First and second were all mine, went to throw to third and BOOM, tranny goes out, i guess 16psi of boost is too much for the little tko 500 . I guess its time to convert to AOD, any suggestions on a tranny that can take abuse from a 615rwhp 690rwtq monster?

my tko's seen over 800whp/wtq (on a mustang dyno known as the heartbreakersince it puts out much lower #'s than the local dynojet)...driven/launched regularly with 720+whp without issue (knock on wood)...but it's modified/built. stock they're only rated at 550ft/lb'sat the crankso you really shouldn't be surprised. many stock one's have lasted a long time with much more power than they're rated for though. there's plenty of tranny options out there for you, search around

i can get ahold of an art carr stage III aode w/ manual re. valve body, 1pc input shaft and all that good stuff. its pretty strong. it has literally seen less than 100 miles prolly closer to 40-50. its one of my buddies trans and his reason for getting rid of it is because his cartech turbo 5.0 sn-95 blew up on the dyno from going lean[&o]. now he's goin real big and he wants to get rid of everything. its like a $3600 trans and he'll probably give you the stall converter w/ it which i believe is only like a 2800 stall for pretty cheap. i guess the only difference between the aod and the aode is the tailshaft and obviously the elect overdrive switch. let me kno if your interested.

i dont know but my tko only had about 10k miles and its done came in for lunch after ripping it out, only thing i could do is cuss the whole time.. atleast till 3rd i was beatin the LT1s ***

Try Lentech for a street/strip AOD if thats what you are leaning towards.

And turbostang21... I HATE YOU! "my tko's seen over 800whp/wtq (on a mustang dyno known as the heartbreakersince it puts out much lower #'s than the local dynojet)...driven/launched regularly with 720+whp without issue "

Im so jealous

turbostang21

if you saw my box of reciepts you wouldn't be so jealousnot to mention its on stands in the driveway with the engine out[8D]nothing wrong but it had about 20k mileson it and with the kind of power it makes and abuse it takes i'd rather spend a1k - 1.5k(parts/labor) for new bearings/seals/rings than many g's to build another engine

I may lean towards 5 spd again, but i can afford this stuff! lol tranny went boom, clutch is about shot from dumping it, my flywheel looks warped(i dont know how never got hot) and the locals want 1500 for a rebuild STOCK t5.....i dont know what a decent tranny will run me, tremec is about 1800 from summit, any ideas?

i completely agree w/ ya on goin with the manual as im choosing to go that route right now from an aod, but if you decide to go with an auto let me kno. i can get one hell of a deal from that trans. i think he wanted $2000 for it and thats for over $4000 in parts that aren't even broken in yet! he just needs money for his new plans. he's also got a P.M.S. for like 750 and its got the 3 bar map option if anybody is interested?
