    get the bauman shift, and an edge converter, fun times in the aod will be the result and it will def. hold up to your 300 hp car. your prolly looking around a 2800 to 3000 stall converter, get a nonlockup and that with the bauman shift kit will be a blast

    Launching an auto?

    why couldnt you use the aod in the 1/4 im confused by this, as there are thousands of people with stangs and aods who run in the quarter without running out of gear. Nobody used overdrive at the track.

    Launching an auto?

    Honestly the best thing you can do is never shift into overdrive at WOT, it was never meant to be a racing gear, and even with a 2" band and A+++ servo, i would never do it nor recomend doing it. There is just no reason for it, whats overdrive like .667? shifting into overdrive would just slow...

    NEW HERE PRESENTING MY FIRST 5.0...WANTING ADVICE

    The five lug is a conversion that he must have done or the previous owner, they all came 4 lug from the factory. So this was definaley changed over, but thats a good thing, thats one last thing you have to do lol. Check out the back brakes too see if they are disc or drum.

    launching problem!

    dude your probably better off just buying yourself a decent set of control arms first. That a all new control arm bushings should fix the problem. If not, then i guess you could put the quads on it, but instead of band aiding it like ford did, try the control arms first.
