Got me all excited there...read the title and clicked in, only to be let down when I see that triple disk billet is for A6's.

Sounds like an interesting mod, I'll alert Theofel.

I got excited too, but quickly realized it'd take something other than another bolt-on to run low 10's.

I'm guessing the claim is only when switching from stock converters.

Torque converter.......the 4L60E version is also on sale for less than the 6L80E.

No help for you Joe! You already launch and shift well.

Joe,
The only shifting mod I know that will gain 5 to 7 tenths in a stick is driving lessons.

Back to my original question; Triple disc what?

A torque converter doesn't have ANY discs unless somebody has completely redesigned the automatic transmission recently. A pump, turbine and stator but no discs.

overdrive converters have a clutch sometimes called a disk, most are single disk, there are multiple disk for high hp automatic cars to lock at wide open throttle

Yes, a torque converter does have discs (also commonly referred to as plates) which is what the clutch lining is glued to and allows a converter to undergo lockup.

subfloor is correct. With the 6L80E high HP builds the single disc was not holding as well so changed to triple.

Email: RXProducts@aol.com for a quote on any. ALL are custom made to order, nothing off the shelf. Dyno graph really helps but as long as we have your build details we can get very close.

We run these in our GM lockup's and run quicker than any of the brands we have used in the past (and have been sponsored by several big names through the years. Those that don't know our background, we have (current and past drivers/team members) years of Divisonal, National, and World Championships both NHRA & IHRA in numerous classes. Not test & tuners, not specialty races for a group or a track day, but as deep as it gets.

:thumbsup:

I don't run quarter mile. I run HPDE. It keeps the revs up. They don't drop as much, so you stay in the power band. Mine is a 2800 stall. A 3200 or 3600 stall would be better for quarter mile, but probably less street friendly. I daily drive my car so that was a big part of my consideration.

I don't have any experience with the Circle D stuff, by I ran a few different FTI converters and loved them. Even my 5200rpm stall drove real easy on the street at light throttle inputs. Floor it and all heck would break loose though! That converter would cut a 1.5 60ft in my old 2005 GTO. It was designed for nitrous, but I never got around to putting the nitrous on it. If I could have launched spraying I would have been down in the low 1.4 60ft range.
