Well went out to HRP tonight. Last time out I had some major computer issues (TM), so I took the car to Chris Robinson (OBSSSD) this weekend. Drove about 300 miles to Dallas, and it was well worth it. This guy knows his stuff, my car's driveability is 100% better and performed much better at the track from my last visit. But I must also give credit to Derek @ TCS. He built me an awesome converter that I am very happy with.
Here are the results from tonight, only ran to about the 1000' so we wouldn't get kicked off.

1st pass:
Me - 3358 raceweight
1.604 - 60'
4.802 - 330'
7.522 - 1/8
90.54 - mph
9.872 - 1000'

2nd pass:
Clint - 3405 raceweight w/2698 DA
1.585 - 60'
4.789 - 330'
7.518 - 1/8
90.25 - mph
9.875 - 1000'

3rd pass:
Me
1.581 - 60'
4.763 - 330'
7.470 - 1/8 (11.7xx 1/4???)
90.96 - mph
9.807 - 1000'

4th pass:
Clint, 2939 DA
1.594 - 60'
4.803 - 330'
7.537 - 1/8
90.05 - mph
9.898 - 1000'

Soon I will be ordering a Wolfe 6-point roll bar from Speed INC and some DR's to be ready for the Thunder Shootout. If you are in the market for a good Torque Converter I definately recommend Derek @ TCS, they are a sponsor on this board and I think they are actually running a GP special right now. I previously ran a Vig3600, but wanted more, and couldn't afford the pricey Yanks so I called up Derek and he took care of me with a custom built 4200 stall. I beleive this converter performs just as well if not better than the Yank TP series converters and they are much cheaper too.

2.75 str i believe, not 100% sure on efficiency, either 96 or 98, that is something I plan to find out when I talk to Derek in the morning to let him know the results.

It is looser than the 3600. Driving impressions...well since the tuning it is 100% better now with my shift points setup, my lockup issues are gone and so is TM, so it is actually better feeling than the 3600 w/stock tuning. I was able to get 23 mpg going to Dallas this weekend All in all I am so happy, I don't regret the TC change for one minute. I paid pretty close to the same I paid for the Vig, so I didn't loose any money really. Now I am just waiting for the Thunder Shootout and some better DA

I have the TCS4200 2.7 STR 98% efficiency in my C5. This converter is awesome, it out performs the ST3500 that it replaced.

This things pulls alot harder than the 4200 and has shift extentions of 5800-5900 rpms. Like you i can't wait for the better DA this fall and looking to compete for the top cam only times
