Default Converter locked for dyno pull?

Looking at having the car dyno'd after I finish installing the 4l80e. I was planning on running a vigiante 2400 stall single disk.. will it hold a 3rd geat WOT pull (woud start with it locked, then go WOT, ) or would I need the multi disk? In all honesty its just for the number, and I know 4l80's arn't dyno queens not planning on locking it at WOT on the street. Its behind the TVS blown ls1... (before the blower it put down 300/300) through an unlocked converter (4l60/3.73 rear gear)

I would think it would hold it as long as you lock it under part throttle as you stated. Do not let the trans shift with the converter locked though. That being said, I wont risk my converter and/or tranny for a number. Im gonna keep mine unlocked on the dyno, just not worth the risk to me.

Don't risk it. Get a multi disc or keep it unlocked
