when it comes to drag racing the promods the procharged cars will eliminate the turbo cars

Just looking at the current set up you have now, it is def in favor of the PC.. Turbo's are beast, none the less.. But like stated when a have a PC set up correct, it is just as good as a turbo.. On 12-14 psi, a D1 should not be a issue of belt slip.. Look at sharpshooters set up.. it is a beast, goes low 12's all day.. Not to shabby if you ask me..

Not sure it I want to run that much boost on a stock bottom end. I may start looking for a spare 6.0L block to build up.
For the stall, I'm gathering a 34-3600 would be best. Looking at Circle-D's website, should I get the 245mm or the 258mm converter? I want a triple disk converter. just a little more reliable to me.

If you go procharger their is no reason for a milt disc-you never lock it with a procharger .

Why wouldn't you want to lock the converter?
And if I monitor and log my runs, I can send the info to westers and they can update my tune. If not there are a couple good tuners in my area.
Thanks for the info.

There isn't much gained by locking the converter from what I hear, but imo it def pulls harder.. But it is really hard on parts, your converter( clutches) esp. Mine locks at 105, but I may have it set to stay unlocked, just to extend the life of the converter.. There are alot better options out for tuners besides westers..

so would I be better off with one of their single disk units? I have a performabuilt level 3 4L60E and a trutrac in the rear so I'm not too worried about the driveline parts. I am looking at replacing the driveshaft with a better piece, eventually.
