Default transmission question :/

I was out getting on the mustang last night pulled up at a stop light and seen some smoke under the car so i pulled up and looked and had trans fluid pouring out. After a while it only dripped when i let it run and went through the gears so im guessin it was pourin out from all of the pressure. Its still dripping and my trans isnt regeresting any fluid on the dipstick. Im going to be getting a engine with a lot more hp so my question is ... ( its a 95 gt )

Should i build my current Aode trans
Or Is there a better transmission i need to switch to

My next engine will be around 715 horses when done for reference

Your stock tranny will not withstand a 715hp motor.
I'd go with a c4 or c6.

I had the same problem with my last AODE(just removed it Sat.) For about a year it would at times pour out of the rear main seal and go everywhere. However, it would only do it once in a while under heavy load. It was a good transmission that lasted about 50+ drag races(1/8th and 1/4 mile strip). However, it only lasted about 500 miles after the supercharger was installed. If you do buy that transmission I would skip on that el-cheapo torque converter and get a quality one from TCI or Precision Industries(You get what you pay for with torque converters). Also make sure you get a transmission cooler.
