Regardless my preference has always been Vigilante and used them on multiple cars. Always had great success with their converters and how they can customize them for what you want. My current triple disc converter stalls between 3400-3600 and runs good on the street. My single disc 3200 was excellent when I was NA. I still think with FI that you want a triple disc especially of you plan to hit the track at all.

I know of like two people that lockup under WOT. It's not necessary for 99% of cars and next to impossible to program with a stock pcm. More discs just adds weight to the driveline.

Just my opinion, of course.

Thanks
After speaking with several Torque converter companies, I decided to get a 3600 stall with a single Disc lockup.

Thanks everyone for your inpute on the torque converter. Is anyone using a TCI, B&M, or a Moroso deep oil pan on their 4L80E transmission? If you are, did you or are you having any clearance problem? Thanks again

[Matt @ FSP]

Manny you may run into an issue on the back near the mount/crossmember, depends on who's member you are doing to be using.

We use the TCI Deep Pans on our TH400s, but they aren't as long or as wide as the 4L80E pans.

SIngle disc is all you needed man, just need a good converter that is matched to the combination properly. Heck we just got a Neal Chance NXS billet for this new build, no lockup, but I bet its slip will be a lot lower than most even l/u converters, but its a NXS from Neal Chance nuff said.

TCI deep pan fits with the adm mount, thats whats on my car. We trimmed it flush with the transmission rail on the passenger side. Has about 1/8" clearance.

Thanks.... Have you had any clearance issue while driving? My car is lowered 1.25", just wondering if I should leave the stock pan?

Didn't find any pictures of the TCI pan installed. I found a coulpe pictures of the Rossler Moroso pan installed and it doesn't look like it hangs down to low.

I have multi-disk Circle D - i think around 3200 rpm stall . Drivabiity is good, you dont really notice normal driving - until you stamp on the gas, then it holds nicely at higher RPM and lock-up. Still bucking at lower revs, but thats the CAM.

The TCI pan doesn't hang any lower then the trans crossmember or frame, you'll be fine.

Matt thanks for hooking me up with the DSS drive shaft for the 4L80E. One less thing I need, hopefully I'll get this done some day.

YW Manny and DarkCry..

Two great people to deal with!

Just got my DSS 4L80E drive shaft to use with stock rear. Sweet looking piece. Still need to buy the Converter and Transmission controller, very slow process for me. But I will get their
