88 orangepeel notch

OH YEAH !!! Since you asked lol.

Best time with the AOD was a 13.5 @ 108, high 2.1 60ft was normal on street tires. It didn't have a traction problem out of the hole as my cam didn't start working till 3000 rpm, and my stall flashed at 2700/2800. 4:10s would have been perfect for my setup, but I swapped to a T5 instead and couldn't be happier with that decision. It knocked over a full second off my time, I can 60ft in 1.7 without trying hard (on slicks), freed up 25hp at the wheels.

I really like my set up now with the 3:55s / T5, but would have gone 4:10 if I kept the AOD.

Why do you think the difference would be in 1/4 mile time between 3.73 vs 4.10s if it was perfect world run?

Maybe a tenth or two at most. That first 60 feet is everything.

If I ever run nitrous or boost the 4.10s is going to make me run out of gear wont it?

That's possible when you start climbing the horsepower ladder. Maybe someone who runs 4:10s will chime in here and see what he's going thru the traps at. But with 3:55s and the manual, I'm short shifting to 4th at maybe 200 ft before crossing the line, other wise I'm hitting the limiter in 3rd just before. I don't think you'll run all of 4th in a 1/4 mile. But I really don't know.

EDIT: I forgot your AOD, that might be a problem as it won't shift into OD at full throttle. Not that you'd want to do that on a stock AOD anyways.

I had 3.73s on my 84. Good on the highway, way better than stock. planning for a set of 3.55s on the 89 though due to the amount of highway driving I do.
