Ill start by saying that the weakest link in a stock AOD is the over drive band,very thin compared to upgraded versions.Ive got an AOD and the overdrive whent on me at around 70,000 miles,I put a FMS hi-ratio gear set in and havent had any trouble.You can go with a higher stall converter but keep in mind the miles that are on the trans.There are a lot of things to consider when it comes to trans upgrades,especially the AOD.What are your plans for the car in the future?Art Car,Level 10,and B&M make some good upgrade stuff for AOD's and could shed some better light on the subject.Like I said it all depends on your future plans,and of course cash flow.Too many times ive said"Damn I should have done that when I had it apart the first time".
