Thanks for the compliments guys. Its a work in progress. It was a one owner until 2015 when I snagged it. 82k original miles with the original window sticker, sales paperwork, warranty card, etc. Keeping it mostly original. Its never seen winter. Ive literally replaced every sensor on the car, and now Im tackling under the hood. Replacing gaskets, belts, hoses, fluids, painting things,etc. I replaced the exhaust with MAC, but still need a cattwd mid pipe, probably Bassani. Whwn I replaced the carpet the floor looked brand new. I did add hush mat too. I will throw in a performance valvebody and 3.73 gears soon, but thats about it. By spring I will have the interior and all mechanicals done. Then in another 2 yearsit will be torn down, and stripped to bare metal for a nice repaint. Heres my seats I just had redone with new foam and covers.

very nice car. When you decide on a valve body, give Dan at SilverFox a call.

He's on my list with a couple other big names. Are they better than the rest with AOD in your opinion? Just looking for nice crisp shifts under typical driving, but chirping 1-2 WOT, every time. I dont like when under typical throttle it stretches the gear and slams it. But I do at WOT.

Yes. I run one of his VB in my car now. He can setup the VB for whatever you want.

What do his typically run? Does he just sell you one, or do you have to send yours in and wait?
