TCI Streetfighter 3000 I put in my new TCI street fighter 3000 convertor a couple of weeks ago and went down to the track last weekend . I must say that I am quite impressed . I picked up an entire half second on my E.T. in the 1/4 mile , and believe it or not I also picked up 1 mph as well . I was surprised , I was only expecting about 3-4 tenths and maybe even losing 1 mph . The torque convertor was the only mod done since the last time at the track , I didn't even have a chance to put in the B&M tranny cooler in yet , that is going in next . Here are the previous time and the new one (best) . Also , I am running the stock street radials and my 60 ft times went from 2.02 to 1.83 .
13.3 @ 104 mph (before TCI 3000)
12.8 @ 105 mph (after TCI 3000)
Also , the car runs smooth as a baby , no shake or vibration at all .

Re: TCI Streetfighter 3000 I had no idea what these TQ converters would do to an A4 until yesterday.
Had my car "custom tuned" yesterday (Chris R.) & he & i went for a ride in his 02 Firehawk. He has a Yank 4000 & a big cam "229 i think" anyway. MAN!!!! Talk about throwing you back in your seat!!!
Now i see why they call them TQ Conv.!!!!
That will definately be my next mod! INSTANT SOTP!!!

Re: TCI Streetfighter 3000 hopefully next weekend my tci 3500 will go in as well as my shift kit im hoping to have the same improvement as you...4-5 tenths would do nicely

Re: TCI Streetfighter 3000 Congrats, Wish they had the superstreetfighter out a few years back before I bought the TCI2800,But over the years it has treated me well, no complaints,I did get 5 tenths and 1mph in my car as well, its a pretty efficient converter.

Re: TCI Streetfighter 3000 Their website is lacking for sure. The SSF3500 has a 2.5 str and the 3000 has a 2.2 I believe. Still haven't seen the efficiency on these converters, but by the looks of it it's pretty good.
Re: TCI Streetfighter 3000
celerityZ , Actually I did not even touch the settings on the Predator from where they were at before . I have to figure out how to do that still .
Nice job on reducing your ET!
A little over a year ago I went from my Mike Kurtz (PMAC, Houston) 2800 stall to a TCI SSF3500. I was expecting a nice ET drop too... but NOT.
Mine seems a lot tighter than it should be. It does not holeshot quite as hard as I think it should and lets my revs drop too much on gear shifts.
I was rebuilding my motor at the same time, so it's hard to say what I can contribute to the converter and what I shouldn't. However, my 60' picked up a lousy tenth over the 12" PMAC 'verter and it should have done that with the new motor's bigger torque anyway.
I guess on the "plus" side it has good street manners (like a ghey tight converter should
) .
Don't get me wrong, the converter seems to be a quality piece, just tighter than I thought it would or should be.

Get that sucker in there! Heat is the biggest enemy of an auto trans, and you are generating a lot more of it than with the stock converter.

Wow ... old thread! But just got this converter installed and it feels like a good half second will come off my et. I'll probably post a little bit more extensively on it after driving it for a few more days.

Tci 3200 I droped from an 8.6 in the 1/8 to a 8.0 in the 1/8 with a TCI 3200 and Nitto DR's. The 8.6 was a nice cool day and the 8.0 was hot and humid. I think in good weather it would be 7.9 or better. My 60 ft. was 1.82. For the money you cant beat a TCI.
