I whole-heartedly agree with Silver. My last car was an 87lx with an AOD. That tranny is extremely weak and you'd be much better off by upgrading it first before you tear it out later because of the added hp/torque of other mods. And gears will definately wake up that car bro. I couldn't believe how it felt just by changing the gears. Its great. One of the best fairly inexpensive mods you'll ever do that car.
You mentioned the car is completely stock, if you got any cash left over go ahead and get a K&N Air filter, rip out the air silencer etc type stuff. Just make sure its got fresh plugs/wires/pcv valve/etc too. Its amazing how much power you get back from a nice tune up. Just my 2cents. Let us know what you decide and how it goes. Looking forward to hearing it.
