Default ATS 5 vs 3 clutch TC?

Am looking at my next buy and have heard about the ATS 5 clutch TC but I saw they also offer the 3 clutch.My usual way of thinking is that more is better, and I know they really push the 5 disk but will a 3 disk get the job done for cheaper?

get a Goerend, better product and customer service is next to none and depending on which one you go with you can get a lifetime warranty

I've been looking at these brands as well, just wondering if it offers an advantage(5 vs3) or if it's just another choice out there? I remember hearing a similiar argument about single vs 3 disc converters. It was said that a properly built billet single was as good as a triple and more efficient because it required less pressure to apply 1 clutch or something to that effect, it's been a long time ago and I know that triple is now considered the norm. I'm only trying to get ahead of the long list of things I dream of doing to better my truck and make it a stand out, and the trans has been neglected up to this point, even though it keeps me from enjoying the few things I've managed to do so far. If I could even get 400 to 500 hp over stock and have the tranny to deal with it I could be grinning every time I left the light.

I have a 5 disk in one truck and a 4 disk in the other. Both work great. I had a single disk once and drove threw it at around 400 horse.
If I was buying another I would go to goerend for it. I don't know them but I have never seen one bad writeup about them in the 8 or so years wondering around on these dodge sights. They seem to have a reputation that stands as high as any.

Get 3 Disc Suncoast. That will hold all the power you need.
