While this is technically accurate, that isn't true. My converter is a PI, true enough, but it wouldn't be the converter it is if Chuck hadn't set it up -- I wouldn't get the same spool with the same daily driver characteristics... This is why I recommended going with a PI from Chuck (as opposed to a converter from some dude somewhere).
My PI converter *is* FLT's PI turbo converter. Had I ordered it somewhere else, yeah, it'd just be a PI.
Most things that are really good (read engineered to withstand what you are throwing at it) for your truck are ridiculously expensive. You gotta pay to play.

I want to see numbers (HP/TQ, ET, 1/4 MI...) or a smoke show, or something to show for all your posts I've had to read.
I've had a case of vehicular blue ***** with you for two years Devin. Let's get the show on the road already.

When would a stronger flex plate be needed anyways? Will my stocker be good for 600+ fly hp?
I never even thought of upgrading that.

Bought me a PI triple disk 10.5" 2400-2600 TC today. The tranny is in the FLT crate awaiting pickup. Now I need to decide on that flywheel....
I'm pretty sure the GT2-3 is going in while the hoe is down for the converter. Texas speed was supposed to ship my cam gasket and bolt kit today.

Chuck/Vince at FLT got the tranny today. Once the got the Fuddle converter to come off the input shaft they could see the broken hub. Pump was broken as well.
Chuck said he would do his best to work me in on the schedule as there are others ahead of me who are waiting for their new FLT Tranny.
Of course I understand that I have to wait my turn but, that's the hardest part
Why do I always break the multi-thousand dollar parts? Why cant I break an exhaust clamp or something? It's always engine, tranny, converter....
