i have that converter in my 99c5.....I picked that converter due to its low cost compared to the vigilante or yank .....I did not have plans to grow past heads and cam at the time....Now after installing afr's and fast and a decent cam i still works ok and did help with to a 11.4@120 time slip.....BUT......my tuners tells me i am losing alot because these tci's have a problem staying locked....now i have a supercharger build planned for this winter so their is no way this converter will do....moral of the story....spend a couple more $$$ now and save the money later...go for a 3 disk vigilante or yank not a single disk and forget the tci
