Locking it up on the dyno and locking it up at the track are two VERY different scenarios. Locking it up on the dyno will show you the more accurate power rating as the converter is t slipping, and the load on the converter isn't near as much as it is when you're trying to push a 3000+ lb car down a track with a rear gear that's not helping it out as much either. 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

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..
