slammedbowtie Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I have a 2003 Silverado ss. approx. 5500lb, 500hp projected, awd. I was set on ordering a 3400 multidisc lockup converter based on what I have read on the forums and have been told by members as well as friends who have a lot of experience with performance mods on these trucks. I talk to my tranny guy about it and he says "why??" you only need a single, trust me. so I call PI and ProTorque both say the same thing. no need for a multi that I should find out why I need one because if im going to blow it it will happen at wot lockup, which it should NOT be tuned for. with the stats on my truck both companies and my trans guy cant understand why I want a multidisc. that the single will hold 6-800 easy. so whats your opinion?? daily driver!

JC03SS Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I have a single. Alot of guys like the multi disk. I figured with the hp ill have it will be fine. I DD mine and have taken it to the track about 5 times n made about 25 passes on it and its fine. I'm sure brad or Brian can answer this.

slammedbowtie Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 you basically have what my truck will have when im done. im trying to decide if I should get a multi disc or a single converter. tranny guy and both companies said don't lock up at wot, but I know my tuner feels different. reliability is more important than how fast I can do a 1/4 pass. so I prob wont lock it up. but I also want to do it right so do I get a multi? or do I save a bunch of money cuz the single will be just fine?

GI.SS Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 i run a single disc as well. also was told no need for multi. I listened to my tuner. If hes reputable and who his stuff then listen to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slammedbowtie Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 my tuner is a moderator on here and knows his stuff. absolutely reputable and I trust him. just don't know why the companies and my tranny guy are so confused as to why I want a multi disc.

canadianVRss Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Go with a multi disk if you want. But you may as well save a buck or 2 and go with a single. No NEED for multi, but if it makes you feel comfortable, then go for it. Peace of mind is priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverado777 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Multi disc will hold better at WOT but you will DEFINATELY feel it when the converter locks at cruising speed. You'll think you'll have a 5 speed with a harsh gear change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slammedbowtie Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 so many conflicting opinions. this thread is a lot of single disc and pt.net is a lot of multi! I asked if there would be any difference between the two daily driving on the road, and I was told none, I would feel no difference between the two converters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissfans03ss Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 It might depend on horsepower, I am supercharged and was told to go with multi disk 26-2800 stall by both Circle D and Vigilante, I am not a tranny guy just stating was I was told.

slammedbowtie Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 yeah they said any forced induction or towing situation they recommend multi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I've had zero issue with mine and it's been in almost a year now. Drive great and it has cut alot of mid 1.8 60ft times. Not to bad for a 3k stall. Full street weight with trailer package n all lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll think you'll have a 5 speed with a harsh gear change. X2 I have a PI 2800 Mulit Disc. I love it. The multi is piece of mind for forced induction, you wont lose any towing capabilities, and like Steve said, it slams at lock up. Definitely feels like a 5 speed. Kinda neat.
