So your saying a single disc 9.5 Lu converter can hold 1500 hp while locked? Let us hear the names of those who have done this. Holding 1500 hp unlocked is possible for a single disc, locked is another story.

We do it all the time in the Diesel Market. They utilize lock up under full spool at maximum torque in the one two shift and then stay locked up for the rest of the ride. I have built converters for trucks that tow 50 Ft. race trailers across the country then unhook from the trailer and run 10.5 in the quarter with the air conditioning running. It is interesting that under this application Precision Industries Recommends the Single Disc Billet rather than a multi plate.

Do you know what makes a converter billet and what it's advantage is?
His response:
Speaking to the issue of a quality full billet converter with a billet lock up damper plate the differences are huge with respect to lock up surface area, strength, both cover and clutch, weight, and balance. Not to mention flow rate due to balance and the recovery time to redirect. However, there are some cheap manufactures out there posturing billet covers with factory lock up dampers wherein the only difference would be appearance.
