I have been told that the TCI converters will come apart on you? I see nothing stated about a anti balloning plate on there site? In my opinion i think the converter wars is you get what you pay for,but that is my opinion.

Stephen,do you plan to keep this converter for awhile and will you give us a discription on how it drives in daily traffic and how it is on lock ups?

All of our LS1 converters have antiballooning plates on the top (pump). The plate is 0.485" thick, so even though our product is less expensive than other companies, we in no way compromised the quality of the product for cost savings. We like to offer a good product at a fair price. We here at TCI realize that racing is expensive, mainly because 20% of the employees race.

Congrats on the runs! They look about right for the mods, weight, and DA to me. Nothing revolutionary, but still impressive.

Being on 315 DR's make it more impressive to me - but that's probably due to the ice rink we run on here in my area - Ennis...

"Colonel: Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what RPM were you launching at on your best 60-foot runs?

I kinda do it by feel but I think I was stalling it up to about 2000-2200. I wasn't smaking it to the floor as hard as I could. Close, but not quite. There was the slightest delay at probably 60-70% throttle before going to %100. I tried stalling it up to about 2500 or so and really smacking it hard on the last pass. It totally blew the tires. I need ET Streets to fully test this converter.

"What special convertor is it then?

Colonel, are you considering trying a yank convertor of comparable size to this tci?
A Yank SS3600? A Yank ST3500?"

This is NOT a special converter. You can buy the very same one from TCI. If anyone wants to pay the labor you can buy one for yourself, I'll swap mine with yours and retest. I have no doubts the results will be about the same.

I plan to test a SS3600 against this converter with no other changes to the car.

"Stephen,do you plan to keep this converter for awhile and will you give us a discription on how it drives in daily traffic and how it is on lock ups?"

After I test the SS3600 I'll decide which converter stays in the car.

It drives fine in daily traffic. It is to me, a GREAT street/strip converter. It's tight enough to drive every single day as you're only means of transportation but not so tight as to make you wish you'd gone with a looser converter. I can honestly say I don't want it any looser or tighter. During normal acceleration the RPMs are around 2500. Slow acceleration they're at 2000. Drive aggresively and they're 3000-3500 according to what your opinion of aggressive driving is.

Lockup is nothing less than perfect, IMO. Nice and tight but not abrupt at all. It just feels like you're shifting into 5th gear. It never slips and it never chatters. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Camaro_ls1,

Colonel is right on the converter being safe with a 100-175 shot. Kevin Winstead has a 2000 4L60E with the same converter as the Colonel. K1 has had as much as a 200 shot on it. This converter will love some spray. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" /> We will be more than happy to talk to you about a converter.

"Pretty easy.. 11SECSS went 11.75 @ 116 (1.5X) full weight and 275/40/17 Nitto's. Yank ST-3500"

BTW, I emailed 11SECSS to get a confirmation on this. He emailed back and said...

"11.75 was @ 3420 with nittos and 17" all the way around and a 60' of 1.62

no a/c,no swaybar,no front bumper,no rear seat,and a PT4000,and stock 3.23's,mac headers and off road pipe"

Just thought you'd like to know the real story so you'll know what you're talking about next time the question is asked. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

"It should be made known that this isn't a "off-the-shelf" converter..."

I asked Kevin Winstead on the phone today straight out, "Are the 3500 LS1 converters you're building now IDENTICAL to the one in my car?

The answer is YES. My converter IS in fact an "off-the-shelf" converter.

I also asked him how he would feel if I traded my converter for another TCI 3500 stall bought by Joe Anybody and then track tested again. He laughed and said he'd have absolutely no problem with that at all and that it would perform the same, given like conditions.

Kristi and I have been dealing with Kevin Winstead for over a year on ls1 converters and have had good luck. I have actually tested about 11 of TCI converters. We ran 2 or 3 in Kristi's old car and now we run a TCI in our new 2002 SS. We have been arguing with a lot of people on here about their performance and customer service. We have run the 3500 and had mid 1.60's 60ft's in the heat of summer. Then we started talking to Kevin about a 4400 they were developing so we started running it. We never got any cool weather good hooking passes out of the 3500 to see what it was really able to do. The 4400 has had a number of 1.50 60ft times and 7.60 1/8 mile times but now that it is colder weather we've been having trouble finding a decent track surface to race on and can't get it to hook for a new best. The 4400 hits HARD. We have broken an axle already.
Anyway, I believe the 3500 is very capable of this and I am not surprised with the right tuning that he is running these times in a full weight car. We have less mods and same weight reduction (Spare and Jack removed).

How good of a nitrous coverter is this thing? Too soon to know?

Not that I've personnally tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't be a fine converter for a 100-175 shot. It has a high STR and great efficiency.

All of our LS1 converters have antiballooning plates on the top (pump). The plate is 0.485" thick, so even though our product is less expensive than other companies, we in no way compromised the quality of the product for cost savings. We like to offer a good product at a fair price. We here at TCI realize that racing is expensive, mainly because 20% of the employees race.

Kevin,thanks for the insights <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I might need to call and discuss a stall in the 4000-4400 range for the Z.

(should be interesting this spring. a 13.0@107 to a 100 shot & a 'verter)

pending the results of the comparison of this converter to the ss3600, tci might have another customer <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> . excellent results, i hope my slow 98 can put up some good numbers like that soon.

The threads that were locked were told UNTIL they are sponsors, no pricing or such could be given.

FWIW, a guy here in La. is rebuilding 4l60e trannies for ~$550.00. These trannies are holding up to 10 sec cars. Several people in the area have had him rebuild theirs including the one in my wifes car. No problems.

Have a nice day.
