how much difference in a TCI 3000 vs. 3500 please help I was thinking about going to a 3000 stall but have a chance to get a 3500 at a good price. Currently still stock w/ 3.23. Is there much difference from a 3000 to 3500? Im street use only w/ 9lbs boost. thanks

More people go with the SSF3500 than the SF3000.
It's just a notch more racey, harder hitting, etc.
Just going to have to learn to control your foot if
you want to hook up at all with the higher STR.

I had been thinking about the 3000 on account of less slippage in traffic and better overall driveability in town. Plus street tires would have a better chance of handling it. It would seem that a better e.t. with the 3500 requires stickier tires and more finesse in hooking up.

If I had the stock gearing (3.23's), I would go with the 3500 stall with at least a 2.5 STR.

the 3500 will give you more traction issues.
i have a tci3000 and nitto DRs and still spin.
the tci street fighter is a nice veter that feels just about stock when driving around normal.

As yours is a daily drive, I would go the 3000. You can always stall it higher later if you want to. I drove a 3500 with a 220ish cam and hated it. With boost you will be pushing the stall higher anwyay. I am sure this is what Yank would be recommending you to.
