Default Tci3800

I recently just purchased a TCI 3800 stall. I've never been in a car with a stall, so what can i expect from this. I'm going to get a tranny cooler and maybe some LCA's too. Right now my car has dynoed at 330/360 and has almost 20K miles. How will the car be different?

well youll probably dyno a bit lower and feel like youve got a stick car up to around 4000 rpms after that it will pull like a bat out of hell...if you get on it from a dead stop youll spin, if you get on it from roll up to 30mph youll spin...at first it almost feels like the car isnt even shifting because of the shift extensions being so close at part throttle and if you have any type of shift kit it softens it up

Well, I've never learned how to drive a manual so I wouldnt relate to the riding the clutch scernario. Currently i've got SLP lid, CAI, LM, subframes, and STB. I have heard nothing except get a stall with a auto. I do plan on getting some long tubes down the road too. So basically I will spin tires no matter what? Will the lca's help with that?

you wont spin them if you dont want to, it will feel like your car is holding back, when you get on it hard, it will spin them easily. Its totally streetable, you will just have to drive it to see what we all mean
