Default Paging Kevin Winstead

I am thinking of purchasing a TCI Streetfighter converter for my '98 Camaro.
Can you confirm following:
1/ What would be stall speed NA(free mods, cat-back,lid w/ K&N, HPP+, etc)?
2/Can this converter be used with N2O?
3/What is the shift extension and STR on this converter?

Many thanks for your assistance

I will make a few assumptions based on the common parts shared between the TCI converters and the Vigilante converters. Kevin can give you more specific info. These numbers apply to the PI converters, but since TCI uses very similar internal components, the information given will get you in the ballpark.

#0 pump and 082 stator= Vig 2800, TCI 3000: 3,200 stall, 2.0 STR, 4500 shift extension

#6 pump and 082 stator= Vig 3200, TCI 3500: 3600-3800 stall, 2.17 STR, 4800 shift extension

#7 pump and 082 stator= Vig 3600, TCI 4000: 4200 stall, 2.37 STR, 5100 shift extension

Patrick, Thanks for the assistance.

Bigonez28, Patrick is correct on the info for the StreetFighter converter. This would be a great N2O converter as well. The Super StreetFighter would also work well in your car and would be worth another 1-2 tenths.

Take Care,
Kevin
