trans and HP question

My question is do I need the tripple disc TC with my HP level or can I safely run a single with billet cover. All I want to add is some big injectors and be able to run the comp at 5.5 safely. my current mods are in my signiture. what do you all think?

Dave Goerend told me up to 350HP with just a triple disc or with a single disc and an upgraded VB. Anything more than 350HP, he recommended the triple disc with a VB upgrade.

I would say you would be really hurting a single with that set up...and if you tow something....forget about it

Sure makes a difference if you tow. I was OK for 3 months with a HD convertor with my sig. Towing 11m lbs toasted it , now I have the Goerends triple. Dave said I should be OK with this setup. I would mention that when my convertor went south it gave no warning, that I recognized , it just would'nt go anymore.

Go ahead and get a trans., no one ever stops bombing once they start. A year ago I was just gonna tweak the pump.
