Default Who has a SSF3500 w/ a 2:73 Gear?

Just as the title states who is running a SSF3500 on their stock 2:73 gear? I want to hear your opinion on the relative "looseness" of the converter and what gains it produced over the stock tc at the track.
Now I know some of you will give me the "use the search" reply but I have... for the past 3 days as a matter of fact..... and though I have read a lot on the converter itself I haven't found any info on this converter in a 2:73 geared car.
If I can't get any good answers I think I'll play it safe and go with the SF3000 instead.

Thanks,

Brett

I have a buddy that dropped either .5 or .6 of a second by installing a TCI 3500 with 2:73 gears.

It will be a little bit looser than most because of the gear ratio, but I think it would still be very driveable. get the 3500 and just start saving for some 3:42's.

tci3500 & 2.73's here as well 6 tenths off in the 1/4 from before just with the tc & tires you'll be able to light them up on the street pretty easy and even with my slicks i had trouble hooking off the line at the track...it is a little loose but nothing horrible cuz it really isnt that big of a stall considering most stock ls1's make peak tq at like 4000-4400.
