Quite a few people are using them and have had great success. I am installing one for "ws6sojuiced01" here shortly. I will also be getting one of John's for myself. It's probably one of the best deals going.

I have a 98 Z28 w/ 2.73 gears. I bought the 3400 Fuddle w/ 2.1 STR. I LOVE THIS CONVERTER!!! I only have about 50 miles on it so far. I just drove it Saturday after getting a mail order tune to adjust the shift points and rev limiter and it runs awesome!!! It really woke my car up. It has so much more life now. The snow is almost gone now so I will be posting more results once I get some more miles on it

i'd definitely recommend Fuddle...many people say go with yank or with tci but fuddle is made for people on a budget, has great customer service and a great growing reputation...i remember someone once saying that just cause its cheap and affordable doesn't mean low quality, keep that in mind if you do plan on getting a fuddle...i'm overall happy with mine and if i ever decide to get a different size verter i'll definitely get another fuddle

I have also been looking for some support of Fuddle converters.. I have to admit though, I sent him an email and filled out his spec sheet looking for suggestions on a converter and have not recieved any reply other than his automated "thank you" email 2 days ago. I received replies from Yank and Precision the very next day.

He was very helpful in discussing my situation and made recommendations to fix things.
Suggest you give them some more time and hopefully they will take care of you.

I put a fuddle 3400 in my t/a about 1 1/2 months ago and am quite happy with it. Just remember that you need some drag radials or you will be seeing excessive tire spin when you get on it at speeds up to 50+ mph like me. Now I just need to decide between the bfg & mts.
At least we aren't like the honda boys dreaming of 8s (they dream of an 8 second 0 to 60 rather than an 8 second quarter mile)

Well I finally got some driving time in today and yesterday with the new Fuddle 3400/2.1 and some new Nitto drag radials. I LOVE IT!!! The car is so much better from a dead stop all the way up until the converter locks up. I don't even mind the 2.73 gears anymore because the converter flashes up to the higher RPM range right away and gets right into the powerband. The 2.73's are actually kind of nice because the converter locks on the highway and I can be cruising at 70 MPH at 1800 RPM
I should also mention that I did get a mail order tune recently because I was hitting the rev limiter at all shift points. After the tune the car runs AWESOME!!!

Had mine installed a few days ago, and couldnt be happier with the results. John at fuddle is one of the best business men i have ever spoken too. Even during a busy day, he took almost a hlaf hour to figure what i will need for my application. Great product, great service, great price, and delivered 2 weeks after purchase. Also, john doesnt stock converters, he builds em' to your specs when you call him.

Anyone else running single digit e.t.'s with a fuddle? I'm waiting on some parts for my combo but plan on being in the 9s n/a and hope to move one down with a shot of the juice and John felt confident this was the verter for me. I'll be testing that out soon enough, but just trying to see if any other guys running single digits are using them. Thanks.
