I have heard the circle D converters are really one of the lightest ones, and they have an excellent reputation, also heard they are around a grand. I have a TCS billet converter, It is a super nice piece, and works terrific, but have heard it is a little heavier than some out there.

Roll races from 50mph is all it will ever do. Never a drag track. So I need something that will shine from say 50 - 160mph. Its just my fun car.
I want reliability and longevity over less weight though......thats what the nitrous will be for, to make up for things that steal power. So if a single disc isn't gonna last, I'd go with a multi-disc and the extra weight.
I've had a converter come apart and take out a 4 month old brand new tranny....don't need that hassle again.

I dont wish to get in this debate but if you are going to run the texas mile then a triple disc would be the answer.
weight realy comes into play in comp eliminator,stock and super stock. Any single disc with a billet in a 9.5" is going to weigh around 31-32 lbs. You can lighten it but you will be sacrificing durability. Doing the roll to 160 over a long period this should not be an issue. We have set several salt flat records with single disc converters to save a few lbs but you have to know that the clutch will become a sacrificial part.

I want something that will last a long time....over weight savings though. I just thought when I started this thread that there were custom built "lightweight" converters...without sacrificing anything. I guess a multi-disc heavy one is best for me......
