The "Streetfighter" (3000/2.2) is what I have, and I'd
call it very streetable (though I have programmed the
TM out and the shiftpoints around, too). It's relatively
mild, not too sloppy, and makes everything better than
stock (thrust off the line, availability of powerband)
with little or no economy loss. As far I'm concerned this
one is your "one step up" - anything less would be a
"baby step".

It's also the lowest priced in the lineup.

I didn't think TCI did that...... So could I get the SSF3500 with a 2.0 STR??

I replaced a chattering Yank ST3800 with a TCI SSF3800 and picked up .04 on 60ft. Two months later the input splines in the converter stripped so I sent it back to get fixed under warranty. I have yet to put it back in.

You most likely will need tuning for shift points and to delete torque management.

I haven't had any tuning done yet. I am going to put in a cam soon so I will be getting a full dyno tune then. The only thing that seems to bother me about the converter without tuning is the POS TM that happens from time to time.
