Default My TC and Gears are in now......

I just installed my TCI SSF 3500 and 3.42 gears. I used to not like racing from a dead stop, i now look forward to it. Compared to stock this thing feels like its being shot out of a cannon. Just thought i'd let everyone know that i love my TCI.

he wont break into the 11's with a 104mph trap speed like last time out...he very well may run a mid 12@108 or so with traction but to dip into the 11's is a bit out of reach at this point IMHO...TC's do make the drive much more fun though
