Made the decision....Going with the Lentech!!
I'd like to thank everyone that took the time to answer my tranny call. I appreciate the opinions. I spoke with Len, the owner of Lentech today and we discussed my personal needs as far as driveability and part-time racing. He suggested I get the Street Terminator Plus which can handle 700HP. He also advised me to stay away from a trans brake as "It won't really help your 60ft times, and you'll be driving it much more on the street than on the strip" He said a 9.5 in. torque convertor would be great and explained to me that the overdrive will have a lock-out feature (like most electronically controlled cars.) The tranny includes some nice things like a billet 1 piece chrome input shaft and comes with a limited warranty....which is something Dynamic never mentioned. Len also explained to me that the AOD is a far superior tranny and is more durable than a C4 or C6, which surprised me. My main reason for choice here is the fact that I want to be able to cruise once in a while on the highway and not have to bring gas with me. But seriously, if I went with the C4 from Dynamic I think I'd get pissed that I couldn't go anywhere without spending 30 bucks on gas. I hope I'm making the right decision as this tranny (along with everything else) ain't cheap!! Any thoughts??
