Foot braking is very relative to the overall powertrain combination. If you do not have enough power to push the stall, or as mentioned you do not have stickies out back it will never get there.

Comparing one car to another is not the best way of determining the stall speed on a given converter.

You should speak with Fuddle from what I see they are good about helping work out issues and trying to make people happy when they arise.

Default fuddle 3400

my fuddle 3400 will foot brake to around 2300-2500 with mt radials.the best 60 ft iv'e gotten was a 1.78 which is o.k. with stock suspension.car is a 2001 ls1 camaro with lid ,3400 fuddle and drag radials.runs 12.82 at 105 with 3.23 gears.the tranny shop said the 3400 was probally closer to a 3000 stall.i like it alot for a dd.anything more would have killed my fuel milage.

yeah the best 60ft i have gotten is a 1.73 and i actually dont drive it that much so i am thinking of going to a 4000 so i can get better 60ft. but i am not sure cause i will spray the car soon and i dont want to run out of gear since i have 3.90s???????????
fuddle said i should be in the 1.6s all day, and when i asked him he said i should flash the converter from and idle off the line for better launches so that is what i do but still cant get there , i dont have that much power and maybe that is the reason i am only putin down like 340 or so

Not that I cant think of.. I think they resolved alot of their customer service issue problems.... But.... I could be wrong, but I believe that the stall speeds dont necc. mean what the converter will brake stall too.... I believe the 3600 is what it will flash too...

My best 60' on my Fuddle 3000 stall (2.1 str) is a 1.59. I've got a few suspension mods and a 9" with a Detroit locker, 3.89 gear. My tires are Hoosier QTPs 27x11.5x15. I'll be pulling the verter this month to send it in for a re-stall to 3600. Off the line I hold the rpm around 1200 and stand on it on the third yellow. Just a bit of daylight under the skinnes! My datta logs show my rpm around 2700 just before the MPH goes from "0" to "1". It would probably make it to the rated stall of 3000 if I was running the juce. (coming soon) If I can get it to stall to around 3300 all motor (after the re-stall), it still leaves me room for the spray. I've been running this converter for two years. Its just a bit tight, but very consistant!

My fuddle 3500 will foot brake all the way to 3500 on the street with street tires, if that helps any.
