Converter Question??

[TheSlowLX]

what is the difference between a multi-disk and single-disk converter. Is there any differences between how much HP the converter can hold. Need Help. Thanks.

I am by no means an expert at convertors, and to be honest barely understand them. To my understanding, they work like a clutch. The more power you want to be able to bite the more you'll need a multi disc. I had a single disc in my car n\a but had to step up to a multi disc with nitrous. I know nothing about what power levels require what type of set up though. Hopefully someone can answer in beter detail, and clue me in a little more.

Single disk converters arent really made to go WOT. I think if you got WOT with one of PI's single disk then they wont cover it. Id go with the multi disk no matter what.

I'm in no way saying thats wrong but could you clarify your reasoning. The reason I don't understand is why would an aftermarket company make a convertor thats not made for WOT. When I bought my first one from them I asked what I'd need and they told me a single disc would be fine and it was. Later as the power went up they suggested a multi disc, and I now use that with no issues. I'd say for any real power get a multi disc, N\A I wouldn't spend the money. I put 300rwhp through a single disc with zero issues. I may not have been the norm though.
