Not winding up with AOD

[whtpny]

Hey guys just wanted to say hey and that I am a transfer from the 4.6 crowd and it has been a long while since messing with a 5.0 and an AOD to boot.

Anyway my question is why does the engine shift up at 4500 rpm when you are on it and can I alleviate this?

Just want advice on the tranny but not the ole swap to t-5 suggestion I know I will get.

The car is a 91 GT vert with 98k on the clock and an AOD with 20k on it. Other than that it is stock minus air box and timing adjust

Shuffle shift it at 5200

Look into a shift kit to help with holding the rpm's to a better level. I believe alot of guys here are using the Transgo kit. Do yourself a favour and get a tranny cooler. Cheap insurance to keep that aod alive.
If you're looking for some better performance, you might want to look into a converter. They can make a huge difference without breaking the bank.
