Is a 5spd better than a AOD on a Supercharged Stang?

[BoostedStang]

I am torn between yanking my AOD and swapping a tremec i have or should i just get a C4, i hear conflicting stories, most people say the aod is better since it keeps me up in the RPM but i my aod feels like a dud.

For the record its a NOVI2K on TFS track heat heads intakes and 1.72 rockers.

:teeth: Well i'm a hardcore dragrace C4 guy just so you know what to expect.

What are your goals? if you don't drive it "alot" and you're not a 5 speed addict, then a C4 is the way to go. I've had a horrible past with AOD's but there are alot of guys that really make them work.

Tell me more about your setup? Whats it run?

like regattacopue said tell us more. Also whats done to the AOD now?

Casue I have loved my AOD, layed down nice #'s and times. Best it did was 6.67@106 with 474hp and 4.10gears (no 1/4 times) and then it layed down 440hp (i think in between 430-450) and ran a 10.83@128 in the 1/4 with 3.55 (it was down on hp, not for sure on what happen) And then finally the crank split on it :D

Like Regatta, I have been racing a C-4 for about 12 years now,,, its a great tranny, but it has no overdrive. I am getting tired of not having overdrive, so this winter I am going to put in a G-Force T-5 to have a bit more fun with the car. I am going to keep the C-4 just in case I want to put it back in....
