Because I can get a 10.5" 3 disk from circle D that will flash to 32-3400 but have much better street manners than the 9.5 while retaining my ability to tow.

I don't want to have to give 75% throttle angle just to get the truck moving, I want it to flash up when I mash it. The last TT3000 that I drove was perfect IMO...with normal driving and part throttle, it acted stock, but when I mashed it, it went strait to 3k and the truck pulled like a ****. Unfortunately, I'm concerned about a TT series converter holding together behind a heads/cam LQ9 that will be beaten on daily

Yea, that's what I'm starting to think...they don't make a 10.5 in a single disc though do they? The price on this swap keeps just going up and up lol.

Does Circle D make a 10.5" converter? I was checking their website, and the StageI converter seems suitable for me, but it's listed as a 9.5...

They make custom converters. I'm almost positive you can have them made just about however u want.

Ive gone over this with chris.

The converters are available from CircleD in 245mm (9.75") and 258mm (10.25"). He recommends the 258mm for a truck due to excellent street manners and retaining the ability to tow if need be. The 10.5" converter that PI sells is actually a 265mm unit. I really like the CircleD unit and it can also stall higher than the PI (circle D can get it to 3500, PI only goes to 3000 max) but it's also costing $150 more than the PI.
