Nice numbers Eduardo! Now let's see if it translates to the ashpalt...

I bet you wish you still had your AOD!![8D] Then you'd really be seeing some torque.

I am low also (8.7:1) and at 14-15 psi, I see 501 rwhp and 618 ftq!

That's the trans baby!!!

Now you just need to be able to hook up it up and get some good times. You have the HP for a great MPH but I think you're lacking in the torque department right now for a mid 10. I think an 11.0X is feasible with what you've got right now on some slicks. I could be wrong but it's what I think. It's all going to depend on what you can 60'. If you can get your 60's in at least the very low 1.5 range, I think you will be very happy with the results.

Yeah - turbos are great dyno queens...lol[:'(]

I realized some people are replacing their 5speed autos with AODs or 4R70W for that matter, why? is it torque capacity 'cause obviously no one makes a heavy duty version of the new auto yet?
I mean...isn't the reason behind our relatively good 1/4 numbers for S197s is the aggressive gearing in the new trans? not every 3600-3700lb car with only 300hp and 320torque is clocking 13.8-13.6 with an auto, correct?

It's a matter of handling it. The stock trans is pretty stout but not when you start putting some serious load on it. You start ripping them a part after 450 rwhp. I don't think you need to think about a trans swap until you are pushing past the 500 range IMO.
