600 !!! thats like almost 8 hours of labor @ $80 an hour, ridiculous

There is a very reputable shop near me that only does performance transmissions, they will install a torque converter onmy GT for $350-400...............he said it is really not as difficult as most shops will make it out to be, he has installed about3 of these PI multi discs so far...

I am very confident he knows what he is doing and I am lucky to be close, bybye tax rebate check !! I am going with the PI Multi Disc.

lol you think that's bad..there is this one (and I really do mean ONE lol) shop that charges
$150 an hour [&:].They tried telling it was going to be about $2k just for gears and TC install,
they asked me what I thought ... I left them with a dial tone.

The dealership really IS the only place in town that will do the job for a reasonable
ammount plus they will still honor warranty since they are doing the install.

Can't wait for the mods but the install is really breaking my wallet.[:'(][:'(][:'(]

I'm looking into getting a PI Torque Converter with a 3000 Stall Speed for my currently NA Mustang GT with 3.73 Gears.

1.) Should I get a multi-disc in case I go with the Whipple FI in the coming years or would this hurt driveability on a NA car?

2.) I obviously want a lower 1/4 mile but, what differences (positive and negative) in daily driving should I expect...
And in inclement weather?

3.) Is this the best brand torque converter to purchase for our cars?

4.) What stall speed would you recommend for my application?

I'm definately do NOT want a trans brake or anything too serious.

how do you like your 3.73s and a torque converter?

stealth_GT

did you get that converter??

2006gtmike

I only have 3.73 Gears and love them.

I got a 1 piece aluminum driveshaft installed at the same time so it's hard for me to tell the difference with the gears alone.

I do not have an aftermarket torque converter.

I purchased a Whipple HO Kit instead so the torque converter I will have to get later.

What stall speed would be recommended for a FI daily-driver?

So any updates on this topic? I am about to go order mine as soon as I get out of work. Looking at a Stallion 3000 rpm single plate.

Too late on the updates. PI torque converter delivered today! It will be installed next week. I'll let you all know how that goes!

How did it go I'm very curious and what tips could you give about it?

Yes, updates please. I guess if you're not running too much power then a single disc converter is fine. I heard to stay away from off the shelf brands though...

So far, Precision Industries is getting HIGH PRAISES...
