New TCI SSF3500...Is this normal???*vid* Ive never had a TC before, nor do i claim to know anything about them(always owned standards), so i had a TCI SSF3500 installed...is it normal for the car to drive like a manual with the clutch halfway down? And the other thing....now the car pulls hard after 3500 but it still seems like the tranny is slippin and my shifts arent firm at all....rather it seems to "slide" through gears...like i said...i dont know much about TCs so any help would be greatly appreciated...

Perfectly normal, that's part of what high stalls do. They allow more slippage. You'll get used to it in no time. 
The higher the stall, the more cushion of the power transfer you have at part throttle which makes the shifts seem softer. They are actually just as fast as before but less of the jarring gets transfered due to the cushioning effect.

Not to hijack the thread, but does the slippage allow the engine to rev into the powerband in around town driving? I'm thinking of how my 2.73/stock converter car tends to bog around town when the rpms are low (below 1500). Would a tc allow the engine to spin up to where some power is being made, or create more bogging due to slippage?
