Sonix and cheater torques.....

I did a search for both of these and found nothing, perhaps some of you have heard of it ( I doubt it) but it should give you a laugh at least.

A local trans shop offered to put in a 'sonix kit' into my transmission. It gets rid of my lockup completely which saves weight and he claims there is only a 200 rpm difference, this kit utilizes what he calls a 'cheater torque' torque converter, since lockup is removed.. He went on to say he will install corvette pistons in it as well... I'm assuming all 8 :sillylol: Despite my laughing in his face, he insisted this was a proven setup.

From what I can see however, he is the only one who knows about this high tech trans setup :sillylol:

so.... anyone heard of either of these things?
