I have heard that the AODE may be holding me back some. I would love to hear from someone who has run the AODE and a C4 and really knows the difference on a time slip.
Mike
I have thought about a looser convertor, I was afraid it would never lock up in high and lose all I would gain in low gear.
Chris
It is at 5800 in the traps. Shifts at 6000-6200. Best 60 is 1.78. Best ET is 13.94 @ 95MPH at 3000DA
Thanks for input boys

Does the AODE have a lock-up converter? I used to run the original AOD in my car. It had the two piece input shaft that actually locked up 1 to 1 like a stick car in drive. It really killed the car on the 2-3 shift though.

If you switch to a C-4, make sure you get a full roller/race version with a low gear set.
I went from the AOD to a street/strip C4 with very little difference. Same brand of converter (PTC).
More top end rpm and I believe about 2 mph.

Do you know anyone you could borrow a set of 28" tires from? I would try them too.

Add 10 degrees to you cam #'s put a C4 in it with 2.91 low gear & call ATI for a converter!

I can't comment on the transmission issue....however, are you still using a stock 94/95 EEC? Older EEC's do not pull timing on the shift.
