LENTCO in Canada created a conversion to keep 3rd gear in an unlocked circuit, but maintains 4th gear lockup on their street AOD transmissions. These will take 750 HP all day long. They also build race units for 900+ hp engines behind their strip AOD's. These have single shafts deleting the locked converter.

I have a hard time getting a fairly stock AOD to hold anything over 400 hp. Could you please enlighten me as to how to get one to last at 750 hp? I've tried the one piece input shaft, converter, new bands, a extra cooler. Nothing seems to work. I just don't believe a fairly stock AOD can handle the hp you've said without spending lots of cash. Maybe I'm just misinterpreting what you've said.

And it's Lentech I believe. Never heard of LENTCO.
