i think you should put a TH350 in it ;)


nahh you can build up an AOD to handle it, but it'll cost a lot more than the C4 will....but you'll have an OD gear, so you can run a steeper rear ratio, and turn less RPM on the highway....it's tradeoff dude...what do you plan on using the car for, strictly racing, or more for street/highway cruising?

it would be fine for occasonal (sorry I can spell worth a ) trips, maybe even good for city driving, but I'll bet it sucks for the freeway. If you already bought it, throw it in. But, your stock aod will hold up fine for a while at least. Save the c4 till you need it and build it up for drag racing while it sits. its alot easier before you need it then now.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
