TCI or Midwest

I was looking at a TCI or Midwest TC. What are the pros and cons?

not exactly a ringing endorsement.

I've seen more consistent results from TCI than Midwest.

DITTO, I had tci for 3 plus years and have had great results. TCI puts some good 60ft down.

I've noticed that the TCI3000 & 3500 show gains in trap speed (more efficient) vs. Midwest. Midwest TCs are about the same price as TCI3500. TCI3000 is less expensive! TCI is the best bang-for-the-buck, IMHO.

ive only made two passes under not the best of conditions.i also learned later i wasnt launching my car properly.whatever.

theres no doubt i have more in it and it runs a ton stronger.

im sure theres better converters out there but MW are good for what they cost.

I have had no complaints with my Midwest on my old car, didn't really get any track passes with good tires. Nuked my Kumhos, dropped .2 in the 60ft and gained .2 overall. With traction I'm sure that's good for atleast .5 off.
