torque converter questions
first off, has anyone heard reviews about diamond T torque converters? and second, would i be alright with a new converter with a stall speed of 1400-1500 rpm's without having to worry about breaking input shafts? i have a 03 cummins, edge ez, cold air intake and boost orface. nothing crazy but i dont wanna have to keep dumping money into the trans. i want better mpg's and reliability when i replace the trans. thanks

sometimes, but mine was hunting for gears. it would shutter back and forth between 2nd and 3rd. pretty sure the valve body helped that out because i think mine had a lot to do with not getting enough pressure to the solenoid.
i needed a new tc, my old one was slipping bad. the single disk is rated at like 600 i believe. i dynoed about a year ago at 512 and 906 and like i said its holding up to everything i've thrown at it. if i ever get a new turbo i'lll prolly upgrade to a suncoast triple disk. but with diesel at 4.00 a gallon i dont see that happening anytime soon.

As long as you stay away from the triple disk TC's and lockup controllers a billet input is nice to have not a got to have. A 1400-1500 stall TC is pretty tight unless you remove a lot of the TQ management then you will get smoke trying to get a load rolling. For all around driving 1600-1700 is a much better compromise.
A lot depends on the TC builder and how they do it. Rather than concentrate on stall get the efficency of the fluid coupling at speed up intot he mid 80% range and the stall will take of itself.
