I have the edge mild torque converter which is a 3000 stall. It got a cut and clean and a 1 year warranty if you buy it from me. I'll sell for $400 plus shipping

with all that stuff you better have good suspension and tires because if you dont every time you floor it from a stand still youll just spin all day and never go anywhere

Just one suggestion..Install a tranny cooler because heat is thine enemy in the AOD even with building it up.

if you cant spin the tires from 20mph there is something horribly wrong with your motor. 4.10's are low and with a 3000 stall youll notice a rediculous difference over stock. it will be like learning to drive all over again. 5.0_faithful is right, you will have to get a tranny cooler. the higher the stall the more slipping thats happening and that slip makes heat. get the biggest cooler you can. they are about $50 for everything
what valve body are you going with from lentech? full manual or the street one?
