Default TCI SF3000 track results

I installed a TCI SF 3000 with no other changes went back to the track. Best E.T was 12.644 @ 107.08 with a 1.818 60'. Previous best was 13.16 @ 105.25 with a 2.029 60'.

The car is a 2002 Z28 mods on the car are FTRA, Lid, 3.42 gears (stock was 2.73), Nitto DR's, and now a 3000 TCI street fighter converter. Everything else is stock, this is with completely stock exhaust, manifolds, cats, and non SS cat back.

The before and after runs were nearly identical weather conditions with no other mods. So the new converter dropped the times a solid half a second, thumbs up for the converter.

Sorry about that I lied. Actually the results were better than I thought. I just grabbed the old timeslip and entered it on the calculator I wrote. Pick a dragstrip, enter the date and time, and the et, mph. The calc goes out and grabs the weather from the closest airport, calcs the DA, and corrects the timeslip for you. (Usually you can go back and correct timeslips up to 10 years old.)

So comparing corrected times the converter gained 0.527 seconds and 1.865 mph.

Your results are pretty close to mine ... I went from 13.40 w/stock converter to 12.61 with the TCI 3000 and MT DR's in comparable weather.

Me too but I usually don't get those types of conditions often. Only in the beginning and end of the season, the track opens in April and closes in October. The problem with the good DA is the track temp is really low and traction isn't that good. I had to heat the nitto's a little extra but once warm they hooked pretty good.

Nice times, but the 3000 stall is a SF, not SSF

Smokemup, good times. Converter gave you a lot of bang for your buck! What are you leaving at? I assume you're foot braking, are you using something like a two step to set a launch RPM or are you just going up on it as hard as you can without car moving through lights?

Foot brake, launching just under 2000 rpm.
