Hey, i am going to rebuild my motor soon, while i am doing that i am going to bolt up my rebuilt 3.90 rearend.
In the future i DO plan a t5 swap. Might take a while but i want to do it.
Now i dont want spend much on the AOD since i plan to convert later on....
On my rebuild i plan to add just a small cam, trickflow stage one. Just for a little bit of fun, i mean the cam shouldnt make power where a stock 5.0 cant go, so i dont think adding this cam would hurt me that much. Plus the car is street driven, its not trailered to the track and stuff. Its a street car and will only see the track maybe once every 2 months or something like that.
My questions is adding just a shift kit a good idea, they are pretty cheap and will help me. I dont want to throw 3-500$ into a nice converter which could be used for the 5spd swap.
Plus i think a converter wouldnt be worth the money now, since the cam isnt a drag cam or anything. I dont need to stall up and go all the time, its a street driven car.
What is the best shift kit to buy???
Doesnt a shift kit hold gears longer in just regular driving???
Does a shift kit allow the AOD to shift at higher rpms??? The stock AOD shifts out of first at 4500, will the shift kit let it go to say 5k or more???
