AAAAAGGGGGGG, Stupid AOD

I know I'm beginning to sound like a broken record but... GET A C-4. When you put that 347 in, will you really be putting alot of hwy miles on it(I don't)? You are looking for performance and a t-5 just isn't gonna last too long. An AOD will last but will cost you over $2k to get any good reliable power out of it. You will lose od with the c4 but it will hold up and cost you less than half what it will cost you to build the AOD like you want. I'm just saying this because I've gone the AOD route and it has cost me dearly, I don't hardly ever use od and gas mileage sucks anyhow. I bet I get around 10mpg, probably less. A tremec sounds good too, but an auto is more consistant.
