TCI Streetfighter TC experiences?

There may be a reason your getting it "Soooo cheap!" Think.... think....

What Edel. cam are you running? One is way to small for anything and the other is a bit bigger, fine for a mild street striper.

the smaller of the two...the 2177

Specs:

Duration at 0.006" Lift: Intake: 270° Exhaust: 270° Duration at 0.050" Lift: Intake: 204° Exhaust: 204° Lift at Cam: Intake: 0.280" Exhaust: 0.280" Lift at Valve: Intake: 0.420" Exhaust: 0.420"













It's cheap 'cause it's of a good friend who found it lying around after cleaning out his garage. New in the box...he runs a shop on the side, mainly buying and parting out stuff. Guess this came with a car once upon a time...

Why do you guys hate these things? Poor build quality? Die at the track? Slippy? Just saying it's crap doesn't give me any insight...what you dislike I might like.

I'm not trying to doubt anyone, it's just that these things are such a matter of opinion and I'd love to hear experiences to help me judge. I've read on other forums of guys running these things hard for 11 years without issue, and others who have chewed through 2 in 6 months. If it's gonna mess up my trans I'll skip it, but if it seems like anything is better than my current stock converter. Car is sooooo slow of the line, it should have more pep with the mods I've done. I'd like to avoid the 3.94 gears I can get just because I'd like to be able to do some highway...

TIA
