Made the decision....Going with the Lentech!!

[Stang_ROTY]

First of all thanks for the comments. As you know, building a hot rod takes a lot of time, effort, and bucks. It's nice to know that I can go somewhere and look for some advice and get some than is trustworthy. I called Lentech but Len was gone and I spoke to Chris. He had nothing but good things to say about you, so that's really cool. I'd like your opinion as to what type of AOD I get from Len. About last September I bought a 93 GT (minus motor and tranny)from New Hampshire. The car is gorgeous and has only 60K on it (w/a 8pt cage, full drag suspension, and a shute). The guy needed money and had to let go of the car. It was doing 9's at 148 mph before they took everything out. The motor I will be getting back in less than a month is a blueprinted and balanced 1969 351W stroked to 393 with a Scat crank, SRP forged pistons, Eagle rods, etc and a main girdle w/ windage tray. Heads are Edelbrock (emissions legal) Performer, with matching 5.8 Fuel Injection from Edelbrock also. I've made an honest attempt at getting this car on the street by going EFI with a "mild" hydraulic flat tappet Comp. X-treme Energy cam, BBK shorties w/H-pipe, Smog pump, etc. Almost every part has a carb # on it. That's my decision for staying away from Dynamic and a C4. I want to go for nice rides on the highway AND fly down the strip. So far, it seems as if Len and Chris are saying that a Street Terminator with a Strip Terminator valve body (minus trans brake) would be the way to go. What do you think? How much could I expect to spend on this, between 2-3K?? I also assume that since you have a trans brake, you probably have a smaller c.i. motor maybe like a 302, 306, or 347 stroker...right? Would you pay the big$$ again if needed?

The Lentech folks are absolutely fantastic to work with. You won't be sorry with your decision. I talk with Len about once a week just to keep him up-to-date on how our racing is going.

I can't say enough good things about the Lentech AOD. Its been the best investment we've ever made in parts for our Mustang. The car is running quicker, faster, more consistent and more reliably than it ever did with the T5. Of course, for racing I've got both the transbrake and lock-up converter options with mine. The lock-up is like a little 50 shot of N2O after I shift to driver. You can feel the car pull down and then start building MPH as you drive it out the back door. The transbrake is awesome for reaction times. I've been gettin numerous .450 lights (pro tree) during competition that just leaves the stick guys at the line.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions whatsoever about the Lentech.
