Default *HELP*should i buy a TCI converter?!?!

im on a buget and a friend of mine is so pisst that im about to buy one, says its a peice of junk? i was looking at the TCI Super Street Fighter, 3500 Stall Speed, 2.5:1 STR or 4000 Stall Speed, 2.7:1 STR .......the 4000 is 50 dollars cheaper? wonder why.......ive had a 4800 stall in the bird before it tore it self to peices and killed the tranny......it would lock up at like 30mph if i was put putting around.....i hate that, can that be changed? i want a yank SS3600 but nobody sells em around here, and i need one like yesterday!!! so gotta settle for the TCI unless yall know something i dont......i think it runs for like $490 for the 4000 stall and $540 for the 3500 stall.....where the yank runs like alittle under $700

thanx

Ok to address the lock up a 30 mph , That is probably what killed that converter , Bear in mind the converter only locks up when the pcm comands it , That will need to be corrected no matter where you get the converteror you will kill any of them , tunig should fix it ,
I havent had any experience with the tci converters so i cant say anything ya or na there .

You can only buy Yanks from Yank these day's. Just a little FYI. We sell the VIG but it is a little more than most. You do get what you pay for that is all that I will say.Vince
