Ok I am in the market for a torque converter, have heard enough about the TCI Streetfighter (re-worked stock) torque converter and decided to go with Precision Industries , how big a difference is there between their single disc and the multi disc model?
Is the PI single disc like the TCI, a re-worked stock unit, or a brand new part, is the multi-disc worth the extra $300 ? They both have a 2 year warranty so what is the harm in getting the single disc unit? When I supercharge I won't be doing insane boost levels, just enough to get me 400 RWHP/RWTQ, so basically sell me on the multi disc, what exactly does it have to offer over the single disc? I am looking at 3200 stall rpm.
As I understand it, a multi-plate TC will allow the converter to "hold" under high power levels, such as cars that are super- or turbocharged. Hopefully someone can explain this a little better than I can. At any rate, I have the PI multi-plate unit with a 3,000 stall. Had it for about 2 months with a naturally aspirated engine, and it seems like I get a little more torque and power transmitted to the rear wheels with it. But, I'll be putting on my Whipple this week, which is why I got it in the first place.
You have to call PI and get the part #. They told me they don't have it listed on their website. I would give ST motorsports a call for PI converters good source.
600 !!! thats like almost 8 hours of labor @ $80 an hour, ridiculous
There is a very reputable shop near me that only does performance transmissions, they will install a torque converter on my GT for $350-400...............he said it is really not as difficult as most shops will make it out to be, he has installed about 3 of these PI multi discs so far...
I am very confident he knows what he is doing and I am lucky to be close, bybye tax rebate check !! I am going with the PI Multi Disc.

lol you think that's bad..there is this one (and I really do mean ONE lol) shop that charges $150 an hour .They tried telling it was going to be about $2k just for gears and TC install, they asked me what I thought ... I left them with a dial tone.
The dealership really IS the only place in town that will do the job for a reasonable ammount plus they will still honor warranty since they are doing the install.
Can't wait for the mods but the install is really breaking my wallet.
