We ran the 3000 TCI with headers,y-pipe, and lid(we installed all these parts at the same time) we got a 8 tenths drop from one week to the next in the 1/8 mile in the heat of summer (from 9.0's to 8.20's),not saying that you will see the same results,but I sold the converter to a friend and his car dropped a solid half sec. in the 1/8 mile. I think you would be very pleased with the TCI,hope this helps. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Im trying to decide between the streetfighter 3000 and Super Streetfighter 3500. Those of you with the 3000's, did you feel like you could have benefited from the 3500 , or would it just have made you spin more ?

I would go with the 3500,it is a great converter good drivability and great performance.I had the 3000 so we ran it until the 3500 we ordered came in. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Where is the best place to buy the 3500. SDPC has the 3000 for $429, but they dont seem to carry the 3500. Also, what brand trans cooler do you guys use. A buddy of mine has some radiator looking things about the size of a trans cooler. We were thinking about mounting one behind each of the 2 holes in the front grill. Seems like it would work awesome, nice cold air and not blocking anything from the radiator.

99,
You can get the SSF3500 from Trevor @ Texas Speed and Perf.,Scoggin Dickey, Jegs or Summit.
I'd go with the 3500 over the 3000 stall...It's worth another .1 in a 3.23 geared car or even more in a 2.73 car.

I agree with kevin the 3500 is a better buy but you must also count on buying some nice stickeys for your car and i dont mean drag radials.My drag nittos are very fussy with my small 3000 tci cant imagine my car with a 3500 tci. On the spray forget about it until about 4500rpm just blows off the drag radials.
