TCI Streetfighter AOD opinions ?

[jonathan]

I have the chance to buy a brand new never used (pre owned) TCI street fighter AOD. He wants $1000 cash and I believe it still has the warranty, the reason he cant use it is because he dealt through a local parts shop instead of with tci directly and they sold him a mustang one when he needed it for a lincon.

Anyways, would this tranny be strong enough for 10 second power ? Im talking running 125+ mph. Ive been considering going with a c4 but if I can buy this one for so cheap (this is canadian money btw). TCI's webpage recomends it for 450hp cars, mine will be making closer to 650 at the flywheel. Would I be able to upgrade the tranny to make it stronger ? Also I dont know whether its lockup or non lockup (didnt think to ask) would a non lockup still get me to and fromt he track and maybe the occasional saturday night cruise ? this isnt a street car, its a racecar that I plan to drive on the street once in awhile, no heat, no carpet, no center console, no power steering. Also what sort of performance difference am I looking at between the lockup and non lockup ?
