Im very happy with minw so far. I would go bigger than a 2600 though. I would think a 3200 or higher *i have a 3600* would be nice.

I wouldn't do such a low stall. A 2600 stall will help, but most go with a 3000 and up.
I have a fuddle 3000 and it work's great for me. Almost all of my driving is city and I can tell you that it really does feel almost stock. Once you start getting putting pressure to the throttle though you will know where your money went. Plan on having a lot of fun!!

3000 is a solid daily driver, 3500 is more slip
and "race-y" but is starting to grow on me.
I have the "Street Performance" model and
bought it primarily for the mondo clutch.

Go for the 3000. It's a very solid daily driver and doesn't feel too loose. I had a 3400 and I think I'll go a bit smaller this next time because my car never sees the track. I want it just for around town and highway romps. 2600 will help, but realistically won't be worth what you spend on it. Go for the 3000.

The "Street Performance" has a larger-area clutch (and
piston I guess) and they claim it's built to lock up at
WOT. I haven't tried that out yet, but maybe some day.
I think I want to keep working on the lockup table and
put it locked again above some MPH in 4th, just don't
know what'll satisfy, yet. I'm still tweaking the around-
town, deciding if I want to lock at all in 3rd or not as
I check out hills & flats, rush hour and late night, etc.
Since I can motor down the river road at 1500RPM and
5MPH over the speed limit (not bad for a 3500) I am
leaning to "not" in 3rd. Plus then I can put it in D and
never have to have it lug out, lock/unlock if I coast
momentarily.

I just figure it's got to add durability, I'm tired of swaps.

Was waiting for the other shoe to drop, on the PM; I
thought another message w/ logs was coming and then
forgot about it. Then I cleaned up the inbox....

Do at least 3200, maybe even 3400-3500. If you call John at Fuddle racing, they can help you.

What small cam do you have?

i love my fuddle. it's a little loose for in-town/daily driving, in my opinion. but it's a beast at the track. cut consistent 1.70 60s with stock tune/intake/exhaust.
