well im going to be hitting the dyno soon and plan to put some decent numbers down. today my transmission departed. it could be the converter or pump , we have a couple other possibilities but these are the prime suspects. i need to know who is pushing big hp with a 4l6x trans , what converter are you using? i know everyone is going to say precision vigilante but the trans shop im using arent big fans of them but they havent seen any of the 3 or 5 disks. im in good with them and like to do what they like since they made a stout *** 65e the first time that lasted for over a year and over 50 passes down the 1/4 with no problems and not to mention the street launchs i have done. anyway they kind of like yank( which is kind of good since i need to be able to tow a small payload of about 5k since im planning on getting a boat) but its not the main concern. they also told me about a company called edge which i have never heard of. any insite is appreciated.

would never consider a edge. and to be honest PI is all i would consider. with converters you get what you pay for

if you have 10k into motor and 3k into trans why skimp out with a 400 dollar converter? pay that extra money and go PI.

 

I dont have the power you do, but I really like my Yank. Its not extremely loose, and it drives good. And I can tow with it.

 

PI all the way. I never had a single TCC issue and pushed the 65E waaaay toooo far (650-700 hp to the ground).

The biggest thing with the 65E and the hp levels you are pushing is that it becomes completely unpredictable from a reliability stand point. None of mine every broke under big load -- last one broke pulling sedately away from a stop sign after running the truck for 5 minutes...

My advice is to put together a street tune with 100% TM and detuned tranny settings in for your daily drive and a race tune with whatever you are comfortable with.

 

Agree. The difference between my previous 2 Yank converters to my current PI 3 disk is very noticeable. Money well spent IMO.

 

ok well im a leaning to pi 3000 stall , can anyone tell me the difference in stregnth in the 3 disk vs 5 disk? im waiting on a reply from pi but id like to hear what you guys think

 

are you getting a 9.5" or a 10.5" i thought the 5disc was only available in the 9.5" version

 

i just ordered my 10.5 triple disc in a 3000 stall. now will this stall lower than 3k if so should i tell them a 3200?

for some reaosn i thought i rea dmost were using the 9.5??

 

with a PI you will leave off idle. PIs flash hard and high. i had worse 60s putting it against itself. leave off idle with a PI and expect the best 60s. also when crusing it will flash fast and hard when you floor it. i would break them lose constantly at a roll once it hit.
