I don't think he sells a triple. Like i said in the first post he claims his singe high carbon disk will hold 140% more then 3 Kevlar disks, and he's had guys break hard parts before the clutch slipped. Told me I will have no problem locking the clutch at WOT throttle were Yank and PI say NOT to do it. My tranny is being gone through right now, so hopefully I will have it in soon

That is very interesting. I'd be curious to see what yank/pi/circleD had to say about that. This is the first I've heard of a single disk being able to lock at wot. What's the cost on that unit if you dont mind?

IDK what they would say. I'm pretty sure they all say not to lock the clutches in 3rd WOT. He said he'd warranty it if smoked the clutch. It was like $585 I think. Cheapest not stock 4l80e converter I found by quite a bit.

i have had the edge 3600 in for 3 weeks. its is head and shoulders better than the other two i have run so far (fuddle, redstar)

tires are hating it. trying to get to the track this weekend to see some good 60' times.

before this verter i could get traction from a roll pretty good. not anymore. anything under 40 mph you better know how to steer with your right foot

i cant imagine this verter with my old 17" wheels/tires. these are bfg kdw-2 tires 295/40-20 and cant hook them from a 40 roll. it flashes wonderfully, locks great when commanded, brake stalls to 3400+, i love it.

Andre was one of the nicest/most helpful guys i have ever talked to.

This thread couldn't have come at a greater time. Sickred let us know what the outcome is on your 60' if you make it out.

KB, Andre didn't happen to mention what the highest stall he would recommend that would still be safe to tow w/? I don't tow often but when I do I dont want to have to worry weather the TQ can handle it or not.
