I have a 4l80 in my 02 scsb and I have a triple disk PI 3800 converter right now. I know I am going to need to flush my old converter as I noticed the fluid had a very metallic look to it and the bottom of my pan was black. Im considering a new converter but wanted to see what you guys are using, whats holding up well and so on. I have only used PI converters on my 60's and 80's just thought I would have an open mind as to what else is out there. I am replacing the tranny with an 05 tranny if that makes a difference, I have already put the trans go hd2 kit in it. I will aslo add this is behind a lq9 with ls6 stage 2 heads, the new edelbrock ls xt intake, and a 230/236.591/.601 @110 and 4.10 gears I am open to stall speed recommendations. Im not so concerned with street manners, this is not a daily driven truck

 

Look into the Edge converters. I've got a phone number there too if you want, and something in a 4000 stall speed.

 

edge...that's one I was considering too.

Edge = $585
Circle D = $825 (single disk)
PI = $725 (single disk)

 

I have ben looking at edge converters as I type this, just waiting on a call back

 

Not sure why you would change, if you have had good luck with the VIG. but... I would just send it in for a refresh and bump up the stall a bit. Would be alot cheaper than a brand new one from anywhere.

 

I may call PI and check their turn around time and price.

 

is the PI 3800 daily driveabile?

 

i drove a circle d 4000 about a month back. i was impressed.

 

mine drove very well for 3k miles before everything started breaking (vib killed exhaust, tranny, rear end still don't know the cause)

 

Hope its not inside that trans I'm coming to look at
