1.550 are only good up to .700 lift, then you step up to 1.625 which are good up to .800 lift. Also, most Hyd Roller cams are @.600 lift.  TCI SSF tranny is for non supercharged applications. If your going to B.S. get it right. Looks like you read it wrong from what ever catalog you copied it from, and looks alot like iroczguy's posts????????


New! Super StreetFighter™ Transmissions


211000 StreetFighter® Transmission


The TCI® Super StreetFighter™ transmission bridges the gap between our StreetFighter® series and our full Competition series transmissions. It is intended for normally aspirated vehicles powered by engines producing up to 600 horsepower. Like our StreetFighter® units, these are equipped with our 100% tested, Manual/Automatic valve body. That means that most units allow you to manually shift the vehicle into each gear change or, by placing it in the drive position, remain fully automatic. In either mode, you get a racetrack shift that bangs through the gears and shaves time off your ET's. When you use the manual gear selection feature, the Super StreetFighter™ upshifts and downshifts right when you move the lever, with no lag or governor override. When you select the normal drive position, the transmission retains positive, automatic shifts for the ease of driving you look for in an automatic transmission.

Here's my horsepower and ET prediction- 0, at the flywheel and 0.00 seconds, with a 0 second 60 ft time as measured in the back yard.  I had a Chevelle like that once. 


Sell the car (if you have it) and buy a civic.  Or learn to be civil.  A lot of these guys seem to have good experience and are real helpful, so when you start sounding like the wrong end of a brahma bull, don't get pissed when they call you on it.


This is the freakin internet, not your local K-mart parking lot, so if your posts sound like BS, someone's gonna call you on it.  If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and has webbed feet it ain't a tiger. Your profanity lced outburst, combined with the other "stats" you've posted sure put a bill on the critter too.

Ouch. If you spent more time doing then posting a lot of "what if's" you would get further. Alot of what you post has a lot of thought in it, but if you spend a little time at a dragstrip, most of your questions would be answer by watching what others are doing with their cars. At 16 I was hang out at Orange County International Raceway-OCIR. Learn bracket racing and how to tune my car. Many other racers would set me straight and help me out on how to get the most out of my 13 sec stock motored V8 Vega. Ran @ 15 when I got it.

yeah im 16 and i go to the strip every chance i get. i learn something almost every time. i am lucky enough to live down the street from, and i bought my car from Richard Parsons, relative of Benny Parsons, and drag racer out of the 60s and 70s. he is always willing to help me and i think almost any car guy would be willing to lend a hand. just help him back and hold the light or help him wrench on his junk. thats what this hobby/sport is all about.

Cool, the track is a great place to see what really works, and what is all hype. When the green flag drops, the B.S. stops. Run what you brung, tow what you blow.........
