Default Fuddle.....Hit or Miss??

Its seems that Fuddle convertors are labeled as a LOVE IT....or....HATE IT kinda feeling. I myself have diagnosed my car over many months and have come to believe that my Fuddle is definently killing my top end pull and MPH...with effects my ET's. But some guys are loving theirs and have actually picked up MPH. Are all the other guys so Hit or miss.....because i am leaning toward a Yank ss3600 next. Anything to get more than 12.20's at 112 mph out of a car making almost 420 to the wheels "locked". and 1.71 60 fts. Thanks guys and this is not a Fuddle bash.....

My Fuddle 4000 turned out to be a Fuddle 5000 once installed and flat footed. I was looking for 5000 on spray, not motor. Makes for a good motor converter for now and maybe it'll be cheaper to re-cam the motor to spin higher once it gets sprayed.

Hit or Miss.... SWING AND A MISS. No wonder Chance said his $1200 price tag was well worth it. Now I understand.

My Vig 3600 has been in since 1996 with only a refresh 2 years ago when I had the trans rebuilt...It never failed or had any issues...I just sent it back because I figured they should look at it after 9 years of racing and DD...Vicki at PI said it looked great inside even after all those years! You'll be happy...

ss3600 will work nice but i would go with a ss4000 with that cam and heads...yup mph will hurt with a fuddle...haven't seen to many that actually gained mph in same conditions...or else i would have bought one

No, its not loose at all...It almost feels like a stocker until you nail it...then all hell breaks loose...
