well an aod is a piece of shit,the aode is alittle better i think that the 1992 and up but eaither way they dont handle to much power stock.this is what i would do if your trying to get the most et for the 1/4 mile go with the t5 you can do the swap cheep just look on craigslist and ebay,you will need pedals ,clutch cable,tranny,bellhousing,clutch and flywheel.i know redneck proformance makes a c4 tranny to hold 800hp has a tranny brake and comes with a converter for 1300bucks and it works great.you should check with them if ur really set on the aod,alot of times with auto trannys its almost cheeper to buy one built then to get the parts and build it or have it built

your best bet would be to buy a transmission like a tko tremec if u want a 5 speed or built c4 or aod, because as soon as u start doing mods to the engine and getting some more horsepower you dont have to worrie about blowing up your tranny
