what is the best aod tranny to use for drag racing i would like to have four gears instead of three so i can get 4.56 or so gears and still drive the car down the highway if i need to


it also needs to stand up to 500+ horsepower

would i be better off getting a lenco or something else instead

One of my friends swears by Lentech.
He's got one in his twin turbo fox body.

In a 10 second or slower car (I would even say 9s) I don't think this is true. I have been in 10 second stick cars, and they can be consistent. Ever driven a pro shifted 5-speed? If not, then I say hop behind the wheel, it's like cheating. Ever doubt a stick shift drag car head to the NMRA site, and watch the Pure Street and Real Street classes. 9 and low 10 second stick shifted cars. An absolute thing of beauty heading down the track!

/\ Werd. Wheels in the air, gear-jammin mother ****ers. That's the way to do it.

Yup, and for those that haven't done it, you'll never know if you let the car do all the work!

Yeah buddy on the shift action, but I will still say Lentech builds the best AOD
