   Yep, OD is a must for me too, especially since I will probably be
going to 4.10 gears. So I guess my options are a 727 with an
aftermarket OD behind it ($$$ ka-ching??) or an A518 or 46RH which
has been beefed up. Do you suppose one of the transmission places
that does pro street and competition 727s could do the same thing with
the A518 and 46RH, or is the OD unit a weak link?

   (I only want to pay for this tranny once; hopefully I will be able
to install it and forget about it. I need something that will be able
to handle years and years of agressive daily driving, with perhaps
20 dragstrip passes per week, behind 600-800hp.)
