AOD $HIT/ OR T5 SWAP?(PLEASE HELP)

it all depends on what you are planning on doing with the car, if your just gonna bang it around on the street a little then the stock T-5 swap would be good, but if your planning on really beating on it then a stock T-5 or AOD just wont cut it, to swap to the manual with a beefy tranny will probably set you back $2500, check out www.stangparts.com , they have complete kits with tremec tranny's there, if you wanna stay with the AOD and want it strong then go with lentech street terminator for about $2000, or if your not planning on really banging on it, just get a good stall converter (PI stallion is supposed to be awesome, but pricey, about $700), lentech valve body ($350) and a hardened shaft ($250), looking at all this money for the AOD is making me think about the T-5 swap again
