NE1 using the TCI Super Streetfighter?
I am looking at getting the TCI Super Streetfighter 243110 convertor and wondered if anyone has one and how they like it.

sorry i hated it. the converter was super loose.
it would just slip and slip and slip.
it wasnt so much the converter's fault, i put it behind crap gearing. 2.77 gears did NOTHING for me with that stall.
You have to remember that converter is "old technology" if you have the gears to back up the "loose ness" then yeah it will power out of the hole ok, but its still super loose. that means 2 MPG (I got 3) and power loss at high RPMS.
if you can help it, go with a 9.5" converter. much more efficient, and they have lockup if you have a 700R4.
