I have a TCI 3000 stall and it kicks ***.

I installed a street fighter in my brother's truck, it is loose. I wouldn't tow anything with it. It is perfect for the money. It brake stalls to 2700. Can't wait until we install my old 212/218, some ported heads, and juice.
Sure the TCI isn't the greatest converter out there but, it is hard to beat for the money.

Alright.... any more thoughts before I order this stall?

I've heard an fbody guy say the 3500 isn't that loose w/ proper gearing. It has a 2.5 str compared to the 3000 which has a 2.2. Ya might do some more research and maybe go a bit bigger?

Does anyone know for a fact what the rating on them is as far as how much you can tow?

Other than that, good luck man.

I'm kinda wondering what the stock converter size is. The SF is in fact a 10". What does that say about the effeciency of it. Are there any real world # on how much power you lose through it. I hear different things like you gain torque and horsepower, but I also hear that you lose power and really all it does is jump the rpms @ launch.

The stock verter is a 12 incher isnt it? The 10" TCI will build up heat pretty quick when towing I bet. Run a good trans cooler with it and you might be able to tow a small amount without toasting the verter. You dont lose power through a higher stall converter, it puts more to the ground depending on what the STR is.

Really?

So basically, my drivetrain loss wil decrease slightly? Could I pick maybe 5 more hp up @ the wheels?

Also... any1 know the STR as compared to stock?

Every car I have seen that put a stall on dyno'ed less the next time that they hit the dyno. They were always faster though
