Default tci 3000 track results

ive had the converter for three months now and finally got to the track.
my formula on avarage was running 13.20s.
today i did two passes in the 12.70s and one pass in the 12.80s.
simply put it knocked off .5 tenths.
my best 60 foot was 1.830 and the converter still has another tenth in it if i could hook.
alot of peeps here say a 3000 wont give much gains, wrong!
6 tenths isnt bad in my book. also the car totally feels stock/tight.

Very impressive for a converter that also is getting some excellent reports on daily driveability. I'm looking seriously at that one among others as my Christmas gift to my car. Not sure which one to surprise her with just yet, though - SF3000, SS3500, Yank SS3600 or SY3500. I go to the track a couple of times a year; excellent street manners are a must.

the tci3000 is what youre looking for when it comes to street manners.
i also do the track 3-4 times a year.

Don't overlook the VIG 3200.
I should be posting comparisons between it and my ex SSF 3500 very soon.

Colonel got 8 tenths didnt he? How was his setup different?
What are your other mods?

Not bad either for you!

I do feel that it would help my truck more than just half a second if I didnt have an open diffy.

Default Nice times!

Hi...Awesome gains for a small stall and a good price! I'm thinking about this one for a daily driver. How much slip do you feel? Would my wife know it's there?... ....Also, would this be a good convert. for forced induction or a small turbo?..Andrew

I don't notice any slip. And I am planning to go FI/turbo/nitrous or some combo...
