another converter question
 

I currently have a billet single disc converter and a modified valve body with the line pressure turned up. When i slide my fuel plate all the way forward i can slip my converter about 400 rpms when its supposed to be locked. What i want to know is if i get a tripple disc converter will it hold more torque without increasing the line pressure more? I'm not 100% sure on how these clutches work but i know on a motorcycle when you add plates it just gives you a softer clutch which is desired for controlling power when racing but to increase the holding capability you need stronger cluth springs which is comparable to line pressure on a converter. any help is appreciated.

that is the selling point of the tripple disc converter. 3 times the surface area is supposed to give you 3 times the holding power. Weather that is really the case I can not say. That said I have a georend tripple disc in my truck and have had no slipping under any conditions. I am somewhere around 350hp. My sig is not up to date.

that sounds good, has anyone upgraded to a tripple disc alone and noticed a big difference?

i'm just goerend triple disc, red clutch discs, and transgo shift kit and i'm looking ot be around 340hp myself and my diesel shop says should be no problem and i still have stock shafts, but a converter alone i honetly don't know. JMO

im looking to get into the 400-500 hp range at which point i will have done billet shafts, i just want to hold what i have (maybe up to 350-360 range soon) and be able to put everything to it once im done modding. i dont have the money for billet shafts right now so they will have to wait. anyone putting 500+ hp through a tripple disc on a 12v? or 600+hp on a 24valve? (no offense but the 12v's usually make more torque per hp when compared to the 24v's)
