I've been running my TCI SFF3500 for almost 3 years now, street & strip, daily driver.

If put any stalled convertor in, its always good idea to put a good trans cooler on to go with it.

4000 stall here. Had some mechanical issues a few months after I installed it. So I call up TCI and get a new replacement. Great customer service and product. They have my vote.

Several of my frends are running TCI's stall. IMO, they are nice stalls for the money.
