Default Ordered new Fuddle Racing Converter...

Will be swapping the current FRC for a little more heavy duty model and setup for nitrous. A buddy will be the lucky recipient of the current 3800 2.4str turbo setup FRC. Cant wait. For those wondering, yes Fuddle Converters are an excellent product, with matching customer service. And the warranty transfers with the TC, so for ppl like me, swapping out TC every couple months, the warranty helps piece of mind for the purchaser.

Will be sleepless until it gets here John

Luckily I ordered my first Fuddle before I got back from Afghanistan, so it was here waiting for me....of course waiting for a years worth of parts while your away sucks. But, I can say, the wait will be worth it. I have talked with John quite a lot, and he is very helpful, knowledgable and even willing to take some risk. So, pp sent, time to sit back and wait.....

I hope your ready for more tire than Nit's...I pound my MT DRs (hook better then Nittos) into the ground with just NA runs. BTW, my new stall is probably identical to yours.

Stall TQ Ratio.. The higher the STR, the more launch out of the hole but usually less effecientcy (SP).. And visa versa.
