1st impressions of TCI SSF 3800 I had a TCI SSF 3500 in my car before and was cutting 1.69(best with ET streets). Well I had a problem with the converter shaking the car(posted earlier) and sent it back to TCI for repair and restall to 3800. In the mean time I figured I would go to the track with my stock stall in just to get a comparison. The best I could pull was a 8.159@89.13mph 1/8th mi. w/1.936 60'. Not bad for stock stall and 636' DA
I got the TCI 3800 installed and headed to the track and here is the result:
60'____1.607(spun a little)
1/8____7.55@90.24mph
1/4____11.879@113.30mph(1st 11sec pass)
DA___687'
The 3800 is a little looser(on the street)than 3500, but it hits harder and has the the same maners as the 3500 when locked up on the highway. Over all I'm really pleased and it should go some 1.5's when do a little suspension work.

Congrats man, I talked to kevin winstead at TCI the other day and come this spring I thinking of upgrading to a TCI 3800stall myself but not to sure on the stater , i already have traction problems. What mods do you have, gear ratio , I like to know maybe it would help me make my mind up. Hows it for a daily driver, send me a pm .thanks
