NOS, you're forgetting about the torque multiplication provided by the torque converter though. A good, high stall converter will give you a factor of two to three on torque which evens the score. I guarantee that the AOD leaving off a 4500 stall & transbrake will leave EVERY bit as hard as the stick car. As a matter of fact, it may leave even better since the shock to the tires isn't quite as much as the converter begins to transfer the power. I don't expect to loose anything in terms of 60' times going from the T5 to the AOD.
