Ill be looking  about how much torque you can get with these parts, is more important, HP is only a number for bragging purposes. Horsepower sells cars, Torque moves them....

A stock HO will put that much power to the wheels through a stick maybe, but you could expect much less through an AOD...either way, its worthless unless you can get it to the ground...so yeah man, we would love to see some 11-second timeslips from your monster! :evilgrin:

well if its the stock aod, get a  shift kit, like the trans go HP shift kit. and you'll be all set. otherwise, the stock aod should be good for a while... maybe depending on how it acts now.

I'm doing a stock HO conversion.  The only difference is that the exhaust ports will be matched closely to the holes in the shorty headers to reduce turbulance.  How much does a shift kit cost and how hard is it to install?  I've got the automatic transmission and 2.73 gears.  Those will be changed to 3.27s soon after the converision is done.
