Hey all, I need to build up my stock AODE to handle around 400+ horsepower. I've been looking at parts and this is what I've come up with. Could anyone please look over what I'm looking at, and provide your input! Thanks!
Here is my plan, I have a source of cheap labor... I just need to buy the parts. Here is my list:
From this website http://www.ford-aode.com/
#1. AODE master rebuild kit.
Desc. is: "It comes with all Red Eagle clutches and Kolene steels, high performance direct RedEagle PowerPack, the #8 AODE / 4R70W Fairbanks high performance TransAction kit. This TransAction kit includes a newly designed OD servo piston and a no leak performance design 2-3 accumulator piston. Includes steel boost valve and sleeve to replace worn OEM valve"
#2. (Also from that site) Extreme Duty hard intermediate shaft for AODE / 4R70W transmissions
#3. The Lentech Street Terminator AODE Valve Body
#4. Edge Converter (3000ish stall)
#5. Steeda Transmission Fluid Cooler
-------- The one thing I was considering is the mechanical diode conversion kit for 1992 - 1998 AODE and 4R70W transmissions. (Also on www.ford-aode.com) ...along with whatever else is needed.
Am I going over board here, is this enough, is my money spent better somewhere else? Any input on my plan, and suggestions, experiences would be MUCH appreciated!
