Default Sorry, another TC question

Ok, I have read that by changing the TC in my car (GS4) that I will acheive better take-offs. I was thinking does it only work if I start from a stop or does it work through out all gears ? Is the claimed 3/4th sec off 1/4 mile time due to the first initial takeoff but the rest the same ? Like if I am going 35mph and floor it would I still notice the TC working beeter than the stock ? And if anybody didn't know I was talking about the Dragon TC ? Thanks

I think it's help ALOT when your rpm is under the stall speed (ie 2800)
so whatever speed you are at, as long as your rpm is under 2800, then you will get the high stall TC slip benefit.
Once you go past that rpm, the answer is minimum (manufacture claimed that their torque multiplication is better than stock, so you will get a bit more edge at higher rpm, but not like under 2800rpm)
