i'm searching for a 89-93 5.0/aod that i plan on bracket racing but want to get some idea on what to expect 1/4 mile time wize (i've heard that the aod cars are quite a bit slower than the t5 cars) and what i can do to improve e.t. without digging into the motor or changing to a bigger throttle body , i'm thinking a differant gear, higher stall convertor, small slicks, low restriction exhaust, what do you folks recommend?

Thanks, RJ

 

fill me in on "aod" not sure what that is...

 

it's called a c-4 with 2500 stal and shift kit .25-.5 faster

 

yea if ur gonna drag it u dont need overdrive anyways, and even if ur gonna drive it on the street a c4 will still be better for u if ur gonna do any racing at all, since they dont hog as much power. As for the times your gonna run... well... lets just say slower than you would be if u had a c4

 

The AOD is one of the most efficient overdrive transmissions available,your 1/4 mile times would probably be about the same as a C-4,Lentec is building AOD's for 900hp drag cars,so they are strong enough if built properly.

 

that aod is like 2-3k</P>


a c-4 with a 2500 stall can be had under 500.....food for thought their is always better out there but at what cost.</P>


you know the saying</P>


"HOW FAST CAN YOU AFFORD TO GO"</P>

 

I with vfast on this one

 

aod with a shift kit and gears will put the power down, with my shift kit and gears, i have gotten great results.. downside is on wet roads while trying to get on the interstate.. i need a beater now that i am in an area with snow.. in new orleans never had to worry about it... now that i am in louisville, my stang will be retired during the winter

 

damn I bit thats a culture shock huh?*L*...</P>


RJ..that's why you need a plan on what you want for the car ..bad planning and the car won't be fun to drive...and that's why we drive'em right? to have FUN!</P>

 

yeah its def. a diff. world up here</P>
