I think it will do alot better than my TCI...The TCI was pretty good from a dig but left alot to be desired form a roll,so I want a converter to do both..I think the 5c is it..It was down to circle d and another competitor on here..it was a tough choice,and to be honest neither one had gift certificates,but chris told me to tell my wife to call ANN his wife and they would make it happen..As far as the competitor the only thing I got back on pm was "no sorry"..I was leaning towards circle D to begin with,but chris' service and his willingness to accomodate me and go beyond really sealed the deal..I'm off today and just waiting for the info to come on my email so I can call it in

well clear roads this week so it was finished with the tune,and I picked up the car up..Man I got to tell you I LOVE this converter!!!!!!!!!!!!! it hits form a dig and a roll!! before with my old TCI was okay from a dig ,and from a roll well it left alot to be desired..I wanted something that would hit at highwayspeed as well..Man this is it!! I dont know how fast I was going,but I punched it and it still hit!! Playing pretty safe as roads are still cold..Also I thought it would feel too loose but it still felt like my TCI did with the 3:73 in..Now with my TCI with 3:23 that was alot looser than this and to me it was fine so now even with a big stall it feels tight..Totally different car it just hits from everywhere when you punch it Dig or roll!! I wanna say thanks to all the guys and girls at circle d and to the members here who recommended this converter!!
