Any suggestions?

And to make an AOD better, you just need to change the torque convertor. You'll have wicked launching if you have the proper convertor.
2800-3200 stall will get you off the line 100x quicker

beef up the tranny with a transgo shift kit bigger convertor 3000-3200, gears and exhaust and dont forget a tranny cooler and you will be happy and your car will have some more ***** to it

Already have the Transgo kit on order and will install this weekend(hopefully) while I rebuild the tranny. By gears you mean rear end? If so I'm on the prowl now for some 3.73s and a 9". Exhaust will come with time.

Got any recommendations on a tranny cooler?

9" exhaust? oh god no!

if u have an auto dont bother with 3.73's go with 4.10's or 3.90's

I'm guessing he means a 9" rear end. I would also reconsider getting 4.10 over the 3.73 with the AOD

Did if you want a badass car that can kill 03/04 Terminators, Z06's and LS1's then you definately need 9" exhaust. It's the only way to do it.

Superchargers, No2 and Turbos are just myths.

Go with 10" if you REALLY want to pull wheelies. You'll be smoking Ferraris before you know it.
