Welp, here's the low down.

I got a 1.58 60 on the TCI 4200 this past weekend at the SLP CAD. The track was ok, I just didn't want to mess with the tires, once I got into eliminations. It will do better than this. Once I got a 1.60 60, which matched a previous best on the Yank PT4500, I left the tires alone, and went for consistant 60's. I got this till the championship round for King Of The Track, when it cut a 1.580 60' on a considerably cooled down track.
It will do a 1.55 or better IMO, since any track is not typically flooded with nearly as many pure street tire cars.

I ended up winning Slick Tire Class at the event.

I also got runner up for King Of The Track.

FYI: This was my first time down the 1320 with this verter, and I absolutely love it.


Great package TCI.

Good result and good racing. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

 

Thanks Ragtop...I'm pleased with the weekend in general. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

 

Congrats on the win. BTW, I was the guy that asked you about the width of your rear wheels.

Dude, those are awesome times. I just got the TCI SS3500 and a cooler recently and with the help of a really great guy (who i won't mention name of in case i shouldn't) I am gonna put it in on next sunday hopefully.

Again awesome times. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

Kurt,

Great results from the converter! It was good to see you in the staging lanes. How about those lines? <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> I was trying out a completely new setup, and I only got one pass on the new setup. I am now running a TCI 3800 with my 200-4R conversion, and I managed a spinning 1.55 60' time. Unfortunately, I had to get out of it because my tires were not balanced. The weights on the inside of the wheels were rubbing the calipers, and the shudder past the 1/8-mile was HORRIBLE! I'm going to do some work on the car this week and see if she'll push into the low-to-mid 10's on a TNT 100 shot at our crappy local track that sits at 3,300' altitude. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Great results from the converter! These TCI 'verters are really shining!

Trevor

Trevor </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks Tervor. Yeah the wait in the lines was horrific. I actually got some <img border="0" alt="[boring]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_zzz.gif" /> a few times. I think I waited for just over 2 hrs to get my first pass, but the eliminations picked up quite a bit.

I was very pleased with the TCI all day. We will see how they are for longevity and wear, but right now, and based on the number of folks truely getting these kind of results, I think they have the hot setup. Not to mention the price. Also, they have proven their customer service is there to me and you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I am anxious to see your number N/A with the new combo. Also, the 200 4R is interesting. I see some of the faster guy's running it, but for some reason didn't think they would be as strong as a TH350-400.

Let us know the numbers...we're watching <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Good Luck,
Kurt

 

Nice Kurt! <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

 

Nice times. What were your shift extensions?

<strong> Nice times. What were your shift extensions? </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">My shift extension is:
5200 1-2 6200 shift point from 1-2
5400 2-3 6400 shift point from 2-3

The Yank PT4500 was 5600 both shifts, with the factory shift point which on my car would do 6100.

Hope this helps,
Kurt

 

02 SOM SS what kind of 1/8 mile times were you running.

 

Way to go man! Nice times and sounds like some good driving too. Glad to hear the TCI`s working for ya. I`m waiting for my TCI4400 as we speak. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

1/4.........11.796

On the 1.58 60, I let off since I went red, and didn't get a better number than the 11.79.

Nice times! I thought you were Trevor until I saw your tags.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Congrats on the win and runner up. Kind of wish I'd have stayed to run 'ya! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I didn't have it in me to wait any longer after making my one pass. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> And I was pretty pleased after seeing everyone else struggling some. Humidity was at 80% on my run! I'd rather have 70 degrees with 30% humidity than the other way around...

7.40 @ 91.3 and 11.70 @ 114.33 here, with a 1.59 60'. I believe it would have gone low into the .60s or high .50s.

I got alot of people that thought I was Trevor..I'll take that as a compliment. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

I wish you would have stuck around also. We would have been a good race. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

I saw your only pass, and it carried the left front pretty far. Your car looked sweet leaving.

Congrats on the times. My car never runs it's best on a single pass, it likes the hot lap. In fact, tonight on a slight prep track, I got a 1.60 and a new best by a hundredth. 11.780. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

Thanks, the car felt good. It was my first pass with my new K-member and it felt good. Alignment was right on, and even with the wind, the car tracked straight - which is a good thing! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I haven't seen the video of my run yet, but others have said it pulled the wheel. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> It's weird how sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't - even on better 60s...

You gonna make the Shootout?
