You ought to check into a Lentech valvebody. Their 1,2,3/4 shift pattern will do away with the ol' 1-D-1 dance all together. You'll be able to shift manually at the street but still have the 'put it in drive and go' for the street. It'll definitely extend the life of your AOD too.
Congrats on both runs though. I've got all of my major runs bookmarked in the back of my mind. They're all passes that I'll never forget.
