I have a 2000 GT auto, I have a few questions. What trans is in the car? I thought it was AODE but now im not sure if its the 4r70w? What mods should I do to the car to be able to kick a stick? I have exhaust and Cold air kit now thats all. I eventually wanna supercharge the car. What gears should I use? Where can I buy a shift kit? Any good Torque converts? ANy otehr suggetions.

Thank you
Sal

You definitely need a good quality higher stall torque converter, trans cooler & 3.73 gears. You won't lose to the best driven manual car with those mods. Also you will want to do these mods before the supercharger. I had a V2 S-trim with a 3K stall converter, shift kit, cooler & Redline Synth. ATF and the car took off like a roots blown car spinning all the way through 2nd before the car rolled 20 ft. It was a violent setup. I would get a Protorque converter with about 2800 stall, shift kit, trans cooler, 3.73 gears & change the fluid while you are at it and enjoy the ride. Inspite of what some people would have you believe, the torque converter will change the rate of acceleration and power output to the ground.

Oh, you are correct in saying that you have a 4R70W or AODE-W. The W just means wide-ratio because of the 2.84 1st & 1.55 2nd gear vs the 2.40 1st & 1.47 2nd found in the AOD & AOD-E.

With my setup, I have NO trouble on the street with the stick GT's.

If you're planning on boost, I would strongly recommend against steeper gears. The stock 3.27's will do nicely to hold off the excess tire spin you'd see with gears+boost. Good luck!
