Default need opinions AOD or C4

I already have an AOD in my 91, shift kitted from transgo, 3000 stall converter, but yet still unhappy with launch and performance down the track. My brother in-law has an 86, converted to efi, with a c-4, running same mods as i and walks away from me on the 60 ft, and by the time i just about reach him, the 1/4 is over. So the question I have since the car is only going to driven around town and at the strip, should switch over to the C4 or is there something else that I can do to the Slushbox AOD?

Yea, you could have the whole AOD rebuilt w/ all aftermarket performance parts but it would cost the same price as a C4 if not more. I personally like the C4's for a cruiser. The only downside to them is that they do not have an overdrive (3 speed automatic) Get a C$ from PA w/ a reverse manual valve body w/ a pistol grip shifter and your set... and if you really feel like getting crazy you can throw a trans brake on that biatch but thats just alot of extra dough and if its a street car its really unecessary.
