What settings are everyone using both sub-level and main-level for daily driving. I currently run a sub-level 0f 2 and a main-level of 3. I know I can turn it up at the track, but I want to choose a setting for daily driving that will hold a Quad 215 without causing undue wear and tear on the Allison from excessive pressure.

I drive with both levels all the way to the right. If I want some firmer shifts, i change the sub level to the left a few notches so increased holding comes on with less boost.

Anyone else? Looking for the same answer.

I'm actually to the left on the main level and to the right on the sub level.

Just so were all on the same page, when I said I was at 2 sub, and 3 main, that was with 1 is on the left and 7 is on the right.

So is there really only 3 of us on this whole forum that use the Co-Pilot?

I called ATS, and there reply was that the Allison pump was too overbuilt to wear out from the pressure levels that the Co-Pilot could achieve. They said that I should set it as high as I was comfortable. Since then, I raised the main level to 4 and kept the sub level at 2. Seems to be shifting better and better every day.


I am also going to be forced to buy there new insturment cluster, because I screwed mine up when I tried to solder on that wire. I tried everything to fix it, but nothing worked. That was money I could have spent on stackinghttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Disapprove.gif

How much low end did you loose with the ATS converter? Easy way to tell is disconnect all programs and drive stock. Without brake torqueing, stab the throttle and see how hard your torso hits back of seat. This is a good indicator for all you guys. Stock converter will hit your torso against the seat a bit. Some converters will hardly move you back. When you feel the latter, you lost low end, torque multiplication, and the ability to spool the turbo quickly. I ask you this question because i have now driven 3 ATS equipped trucks and have formulated my opinion. Thanks,

Mike,


I have to ask, is this an occurance with all triple disk converters? Would a beefed single disk converter fit the bill better? Pros and cons of triple disk vs aftermarket single disk?


Thanks
Mike

The low end torque does feel down some, but I changed tunes and added a new primary filter at the same time as the ATS. So I dont know which of the three was the root cause, or even if it was just in my imagination. I had every intention of testing each of these changes one at a time, but my excitement took over, and I just did them all at once. I do know that the boost spools up as fast or faster than before. The power lost in the low RPM only seems to be under light throttle.

Single disc converter is lighter(usually bit higher in stall, not always). If built properly will hold up to 500 hp(within reason; no flogging).


Triple disc converters rattle(floater clutches), they will give you a bit of vibration, they are heavier(don't think this is a factor, but maybe). They hold more power, and that's a fact. Did i mention your cajones sag to the gound when you lift one?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif

You lost low end. The more you drive your truck, the more you will realize this. This is not a flame or a knock on any converter company. This is a study. I am very fortunate to be able to drive a lot of trucks with different mods. I have decided to study these trucks and their mods and do a comparison some day.

There are an awful lot of single disc Torque convertors out there holding more than 700hp reliably..... in the dodge world at least.... which is my main reason for development work with DTT.
