That's why turbo cars often see more boost off the dyno - same reason.

You can have a single disc vig built to a triple with whatever stall speed you want. I had it done with a used vig I bought a few years ago and it had a complimentary restall included with it - all I paid for was the triple disc lockup clutch and shipping. I don't recall the exact price but I know buying a used converter with a free restall and the triple disc option installed from PI was cheaper than buying a brand new converter
Thanks man, very good information here^^

Thing is, I bought my converter used and I'm not sure if it is a triple or single. It is a VERY loose stall if that means anything..
