well i guess ill go with a multi disc then. before i actually buy ill call and talk to circle d and yank and see what they suggest also. not fond of sales people though, they more than likely always gonna try and sell the biggest and baddest. well if i do go with the multi disc, def not looking forward to that 1200 price tag lol

Mine might have been a fluke but it still happened. Luckily it did not take the transmission with it.

Back when my truck was still a street truck, I ran a triple disk that was build by Precision (Vigilantly). I did have Chris @ Circle D open it up one day for a slight adjustment but nothing significant.

You can clearly hear in the video below of me doing WOT lockup in 3rd gear at the track. On this particular pass, I had it lock up at 105 mph which was right at the 1/8 mile. Also, I did some roll racing with the truck and was locking the clutch in 3 and even in 4th gear when I was consistently fighting off Z06's on the highway. Through all of that I never hurt the converter or any hard parts in the trans (it was a level 4 4L80e trans that was built buy FLT back in the day when Vince was still there, but I did eventually burn up some of the internal trans clutch packs. Cost of racing.
