Default torque conv.

i was just wondering what everyone though about TCI for a tc. i was thinking about getting one of their super streetfighter stalls partly because i have a summit giftcard and summit doesnt carry yank, fuddle, pi etc. it says it stalls about 3500, so i was also wondering if my tranny would last. BTW my car is a daily driver so if this wouldnt be a good choice please let me know. Thanks in advance. merry christmas!

I've seen the tci your talking about. Seem's like a great deal for the money, and lots of people on this site run 3500 stall's on their daily driver without any problem's.
Do it, you won't regret it!

Scion!! Do u have anything else done to the car? If not i would do other things on the car first im guessing it would be more of a pain in the *** for traction on a little front wheel drive scion.

Personally, I would use the Summit gift card for something else and go with either Fuddle or Yank...
