AOD guys valve body choices

For what it is worth, I had transmission problems (total failure) back in May and decided to upgrade to a Lentech unit. I got the Street Crusier trans with the Street Terminator valve body. Best move I made since I put the 3.73 gears in the car. I had 1-2-3 shifts, installed the OD lockout switch and had a ball. When I ordered it, I requested a hard 1-2 shift and medium 2-3 shift. I should have gotten a better torque converter, but didn't think it was necessary. Oh well, next time! Even with the car needing a tune-up, I can chirp the tires in 2nd gear.

I would highly recommend this setup for a street crusier car like mine. I don't do too many stop-light to stop-light races or the 1/4 mile runs, just a daily driver and my daughter's future ride.

I agree completely with the lentech valvebody. nothing else compares. As far as the converter goes I will oddly suggest the edge unit or similar built to use the 1 piece input shaft. being a converter builder I am very familiar with the products edge builds because they are sold by sonnax. The billet front cover is the nicest I have ever seen. Use a 31 spline 1 piece input shaft and have the converter built to use it and you will have an indestructible converter setup. You will also strengthen your transmission tremendously. The PI aod converter is ok I can't say anything bad about it however the front covers are thin and like to balloon. Any converter you buy designed to use stock input shafts will have the same exact problem.
