Default Fuddle 3400/2.1 str track results

Finally made it out to the track to test out my new Fuddle converter today.
This is the $400 9-1/2" Performance converter.
My previous best before the converter was a 12.95@107.03 with a 1.95 60ft.
Here is today's best:


That's me in the right lane (obviously). The converter is good but not 9 sec good. -lol

Drove 75 miles to the track, raced all day, drove home. Converter drove great on the street, highway and even better than expected at the track.
I've had 2 Vigilantes in the past on different cars and I like the Fuddle the best. It's every bit as good if not more than the high dollar units.
This was the best $ spent on mods so far.

Good cut of 0.5s there, and with a gain of 0.2s over the 60'. You haven't gained any MPH, but you haven't increased horsepower either. Great torque mod these converters, eh...

This was on Nitto drag radials. I had some problems early on getting them to hook but I wasen't heating them up long enough. I think with some more practice and better burnouts I can get that 1.74 down a little more.
I was hoping to see a small gain in mph but was not too disapointed because all my runs were in the 107+ range where before the converter I would be in and out of the 106 range. I hit 107.68 my highest MPH so far but it was on a 13.2 run with a 2.45 60ft-lol. one of my first runs of the day.
On my 2 best runs I launched the car from idle.

Those results are not bad for a low STR converter. To get into the 1.6X range typically takes a 3500 2.5 with a fairly stock car. What was the weather (DA)?
