<cough>T56</cough>

Cobras shouldn't have autos

Are you doing AOD, or AOD-E? If it's the -E (or a 4R70/4R70W), you'll need the ECU and whatever wiring goes to the tranny.

i plan on running in 7.0 class and i cant bracket race with a t56 of any manual as well as i can with an automatic
and its an aod no electronics needed

fastgtfairlane · November 15th, 2009, 11:03 PM

is the wiring harness the same?

if you must destroy the cobra drag racing it , might as well put a C4 in it

AOD's are stronger than C4s, aren't they? I mean, stock C4s here, not purpose-built drag racing C4s.

If you're building your Cobra only for bracket racing, I suggest you go for a built AOD from Lentech. Yes, you'll need the flexplate and TC (get an upgraded higher stall version of that) and you'll also need the TV cable. To make the TV cable work properly you'll need to convert to a Fox throttle body/upper intake set-up.

if you are not driving it on the street much i would go with a built c4. will be equally as strong and is lighter and will take less power to turn it then an aod.

2 of my friends have ran stock C4s with a good stall to low 7s in the eighth on 175 shot , Ive never seen a stock AOD do that

acmillr · November 17th, 2009, 09:10 AM

Why would you use an AOD for racing purposes? Just wondering. Why not just go with a C4?

Bullitt95 · November 17th, 2009, 09:39 AM

A built C4 would be a good choice if the car is never going to cruise on the highway. It's much lighter than the AOD.

go over to Click Click Racing and talk to dan (silverfox) he can tell you everything needed and he can build/get you the parts to build your aod to hold 700-1000HP

Is that because they blow up, or because they eat too much power?

My understanding is that the AOD is an FMX with OD, and that the FMX was the medium-duty transmission used in the 60s/70s between the light-duty C4 and heavy-duty C6. Based on that, I would think the AOD stronger. BUT, that's just theory and conjecture, not based on any actual experience with pushing either tranny to the limit.

brokebp417 · December 2nd, 2009, 01:27 PM

the aod i have is built for 900hp 700trq no breaking that one i have a 3600 stall and i plan to drive this car alot so overdrive is a must

brokebp417 · December 2nd, 2009, 01:30 PM

and im 20 years old ive spent all my life savings and more this car to get the motor right so now im in the process of breaking and rebuilding my drivetrain... sorry cobra purist... but the ultimate plan for my car is a 400rwhp all motor 347 that revs to 8000 rpm with a irs out of an 03 04 cobra and a t56... track day car

95StangMX · December 2nd, 2009, 01:35 PM

8000 grand huh? and 400 on a stroker is ok but with the right combo you should make more and not have to go near 8000 rpms. What mods do you have now?

If that's your ultimate goal, why swap an auto in it now? And why would you want the IRS, when you could have a 3-link setup that's stronger, lighter, AND handles better?
