As some of you may have read I had a major issue with TCI and their nonoperable mail order AOD trans. I've yet to receive my money back from them at this writing. But the good news is that I had a local trans shop install my new AOD tranny and the cat is running nice again. I have to put 500 break-in miles on it before I can start pounding it hard but the numbers at the pump are looking great.
I averaged 11 - 13 mpg's on the old C4 trans, so I wasn't expecting too much and hoped for about 15. Well two tanks later I'm getting a consistent 19 mpg's; way better than I imagined. I still have to get used to the fact that the cat has long legs now; but the shop said that once I get the adjustments made it should take off just like I want with only a slight loss in mileage.
I'm totally stoked and can't wait to take it on a road trip to visit my in-laws in Iowa. Next on my to do list is getting more hp out of the 351w. I'm hoping for about 375 without breaking the bank.
