I think Scott's (Lincolnmania) connection does them for like 1500 installed, for a WR.

yeah brian charges 1500 for a wide ratio
I got a stock rebuild with a mild transgo shit kit rebuild for 1000

i personally dont have the tools. but my dad is a journeyman mechanic and he probably does and has the know how to do it too.

Not without a decent rebuild, good shift kit, and large cooler. You will want to swap the converter too. Stock converters and performance don't go together.

what would you call a "good" shift kit?

I'd suggest picking up a book or something that covers rebuilding the AOD and have a look through it to see if you or your dad feel comfortable with doing this. It should also cover the tools you need so you can make sure you've got all the right stuff.

im wanting to make my car fairly fast. i know what i want to do for the motot now.. but should i stay with the aod or should i switch to a different tranny?

A properly rebuilt AOD with a properly modified valve body such as one of Lentech's offerings, or somebody else who is competent modifying it, will hold up just fine. A loose converter helps also.

If he doesn't rebuild automatic transmissions and the AOD in particular, he doesn't have the necessary transmission tools.
