Default Opinions wanted, single disc or triple disc?

My truck is pretty much stock, might put a set of injectors in at some point, thinking maybe 60hp range. edge ez. so not alot added power, I am saving for a good convertor. Which brings me to the asking of opinions. I have the funds to go ahead and get a single disc convertor or save lil bit more and get a triple disc? My truck is not a DD, when I do use it. well basically it doesn't get abused. I am doing this upgrade for piece of mind. also, doing the valve body upgrade while I got it out.

You would be fine with one of our single disc converters that are rated to 500hp.

My main concern is drivability. With a 3 disc is the shifting going to be pretty aggresive?

Single's can hold good power, judging by what you want to do, theres no need to go all out. Do the billet actuator piston with the shift kit, and billet band strut and anchor- those are all easy things to do when you have valve body out.

do you have a link for those parts you mentioned? Sounds interesting, and if I can get to it while I have the valve body out.

I'm still running a single with whats in my sig. Shattered two stock input shafts and turoe the center out of the stock flex plate. A GOOD single will handle what your planning.
