Best AODe
I agree with everything you've said and most of the other posts too. It depends on if the original question means they were looking to buy a complete tranny (didn't want to do the rebuild or have the capability, time or skils to do it themselves) or were just wanting to know what specs make the best.
In any case, the premise of building it right in the beginning is the best advice. Well builit AODe or 4R70W are behind some pretty hot motors and work really well.
Heck I know of a 100K stock AOD that's behind a 500HP turbo and still going strong.
Matching the tranny with a good converter is equally important.
I learned my lesson by scrimping in the beginning and going with the less expensive single disk lock up PI stallion because I thought I would be holding off on going beyond a NA set up for a while. Boy was I wrong. NA didn't last a year and here I am adding a blower and knowing I'll have to pull the converter and send it off to upgrade to a multidisk to handle the 420+ rwhp.
