I have a PTC in my racecar now for 5 years without any problems. About 400 passes or so. Should I send it back or put it back in for 2014? Mid 9 sec car @3550 lbs. Mike

Vernon, Ohio	I have a 15 year old TCI sitting on my shelf that was cut open after a few years of use, there was absolutly nothing wrong with it,( found out that I was talked into spending 125.00 for no reason) ran it up till 3 years ago when I had a new one built and it is ready to go back in if needed, so if it is working correctly and hasn't changed then don't waste your money. Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.
