I can tell you 100% that you will lose. Raced a Stg II balt with K&N and GMPP catback... I even gave him his "40 roll".... by 100 he was back a full car. I was NLS. From a dig he was embarassed.

100% huh?? That is alot of confidence seeing as all cars don't run the same even with the same mods. Bring drivers into it and that a whole other story .
Drivers race...... plain and simple.

/\ Haha, same with you sc guys. Were really not that different. It was the sc driver who was adminant I would lose...
Just sharing my experience. I have a lot of experience driving these cars, but the sc sucks at launching, having owned one for over 3 years I know. The TC is a much easier car to launch. So from a dig, it was like a walk down memory lane listening to those tires bouncing off the road and a fked up 1-2 shift as a result. mounts, tq brace etc are mandatory if your gonna launch an sc.
And no my car is far from untouchable, it was just faster than a stg II with intake and gmpp thats all. I was bone stock. Now I have a really solid tune it would only be worse.

I also know that SS/TC's are very powerful stock and even crazier with a tune, but 95 % of the time a Stage 2 SS/SC and a stock SS/TC will be a dirvers race with equal drivers.

I almost bought a TC a few weeks ago but didn't , to be honest there wasn't enough of a power difference between my SC.... and a stock TC .....for me to justify losing 3K on my car (my car felt like it pulled harder from 2nd till the top of 3rd where i had to let off). If the stage kit's had been out for the TC i would have pulled the trigger. I'm going to buy one before the production run is over, so believe me ... i'm not a hater.
