(edit)My bad, I went back and saw the deadline.
If so, 409 or bigger, solid roller or real big hydro cam, NA motor with a Th200r4 using the billet 4L60 shaft...is that Comp. 4400 a good choice?
Race weight of around 3200 lbs.

Trevor, any idea when these will ship?

When I ordered my SS3800 earlier today, Trevor told me it takes 3-4 days for TCI to build a custom converter. If yours is a standard stall, they may have it available to ship immediately.

Trevor any idea on shipping to Canada near Toronto and cost on the 3200 stall streetfighter to 2.2.1 str thanks

ill be finally getting my order in today but i was wondering what the shift extension is for the ssf3500 with stock shift points for now and eventually 6000 or 6100rpm shift points.

RED2K

What about one for the truck that will allow full towing?

Mike - A 4,200 would be more stall than I would personally want to run if using nitrous. You could run a 100 shot with the converter, but you're going to have to turn the engine pretty tight to see the nice results. A lower stall like the 3,800 that you ordered will work better in my opinion. It will be a nice dual-purpose converter. The biggest differences between the Competition and Super Street Fighter converters are, of course, the stall speed and stall torque ratio. The Competition 4,400 is setup more as a race converter since the majority of the people that buy it are not concerned with street manners. It can certainly be a handful on the street, but it sure does shine at the dragstrip!

SSValet - A Competition 4,400 will most likely be too much stall for your setup. It's setup to stall 4,400 behind a stock-cid LS1, so you'll easily gain a few hundred RPM in stall speed from the added torque that you will be making with your 409. Shoot me an e-mail with some cam specs that you're considering, as well as gearing that you will be running, and we will narrow down a converter that will work best for your setup.

2000SILVERTA - I am e-mailing everyone that has bought a converter in the GP with details on shipping for the converter, as well as the trans. cooler if one was purchased. You can expect your Competition 4,400 to leave TCI on Friday. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Jalbert - Shipping to you in Canada for a converter will be $45. As for the price on the converter, it will be $420.99. TCI will simply raise the stall speed by 200 RPM on a Street Fighter torque converter.

hondakiller - Assuming your stock shift points are around 5,700 RPM and you are running 3.23:1 gears, you can expect your shift extensions to be around 4,100 RPM. With 6,000-6,100 RPM shift points, you can expect shift extensions to be around 4,300-4,400 RPM with the SSF 3500.

RED2K - The converters that are currently offered for the trucks are not intended to retain full towing capacity. However, TCI is already well aware of the demand for a performance truck converter that does still retain full towing capacity. So, you can expect to see a converter from TCI in the next few months that fits into the criteria you mentioned. We'll be the first to let you know. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

The response has been tremendous guys and girls! Thank you for all of the orders, and keep the questions rolling in. Keep in mind that this Friday is the last day to get in on the GP. This is introductory pricing, so take advantage of it while you can!

Trevor,

I've got the lightly-modded LT1. I drove a buddy's Yank ST3500 LS1 car (2.4 STR, I believe) and it seemed pretty nice. How much looser, if any, would the 2.2 STR Street Fighter be with a 3400 stall than his Yank? Or is it better to bring down the SSF3500 to a lower stall speed and keep the 2.5 STR (or just keep it at 3500 if there's not much of a difference)?

More of my running would be from a roll, so I'd rather have a bit more efficiency than hard-hitting if there is a trade-off between the two. Would the change in efficiency of the 2.2 vs the 2.5 (assuming same stall) be significant? It's almost like I want a converter in betweeen the two, like a 3400 w/ a 2.4 STR. Can they do something like that on a GP price or is one stuck with either a 2.2 or 2.5STR for GPs?

SSValet

Trevor I sent you an email did you get it?
I just want to try and get in on this Gp if I can.

Gearhead - There will be VERY little difference in streetability between a 3,500 stall with a 2.4:1 STR and a 3,400 stall with a 2.2:1 STR. If you would like to go with a 3,400 stall with a 2.4:1 STR, then it can be done at the GP price for the Super Street Fighter. Honestly, you will notice very little difference in streetability between the 3,400/2.4:1 combo vs. the standard Super Street Fighter with a 3,500/2.5:1. If the 3,500 stall Yank felt nice to you, then I would personally go with that stall and lower the STR. I say that because the majority of people end up wanting more stall, and a 3,500 stall is a nice street/strip stall speed IMO.

SSValet - Yes, I received it, and I am getting a second opinion on the converter to go with for your setup before I make my final recommendation for your particular setup. After looking over a few different dyno graphs that are similar to what you will have, I would expect a converter with a stall speed around 4,400 RPM behind your setup. I will have an answer for you tomorrow so you can get in on the GP. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Trevor, i heard in the past that anything above a 2800 stall for a 94 has shifting problems. I would like to order the 3000 street fighter but maybe want to go higher just a little. WOuld a 3000 or 3200 do u think would have shifting problems??? THanks

Knowing that, the highest I would go would be a 3,000 stall. We could get the STR raised up to a 2.5:1, though, if you are still wanting a hard-hitting converter. Each car is different, so I cannot guarantee that you will not run into shifting problems with a 3,000 stall. This seems to be a very common problem. We can get any stall and STR for you, so just e-mail me to let me know what you decide.

SSValet - I sent you an e-mail to your AOL account with a converter recommendation.

Trevor, what's the physical build material difference between the TCI SSF and the competition model...different stator material?

DG Gordon

Trevor I was just wandering how a new corvette would run with the only mods being a super street fighter converter? I am contimplating trading the SS for a new or almost new Vette. I was wandering how reliable a converter is with the Vettes. It would be the only mod ever added besides an open airbox. Would it even be worth it to take chance like that and void the warrenty. This deal is still in the air as I need to sell the SS first.
thanks DG

Anything for the TH-350/400?
