Is the AOD to weak

If you want to learn the truth about AODs, the don't listen to NOS, call Lentech. The AOD was/is weak because of its power flow as the Ford engineers have designed it. But it doesn't HAVE to be that way. Lentech has redesigned the power flow so that it avoids the naturally weak areas of the AOD, such as routing 3rd through the inner shaft. I'm telling ya, if you spend a little time on the phone with Len you'll be convinced that they make a far superior product. I'm running the Pure Street Terminator Lockup behind a 306 N/A motor that's probably making 450+ at the crank. That's a mild combination compared to Lentech's standards. They've warranted it for a year (no questions asked) knowing full well that it'd be an all-out race transmission. It snaps second gear like a stick car. Right off the trailer, I ran a full two-tenths quicker than last year and nearly two-MPH faster. Since then, I've run a best of 11.61 at nearly 117mph and just watch what happens this weekend in Montgomery.

ITS THE BEST SINGLE INVESTMENT I'VE MADE IN MY MUSTANG. If you're spending $2700 on AAMCO rebuilds, they're not going to get you anywhere. That's all they are is rebuilds. Go for a re-engineered AOD and put an end to your problems.
