Fuddle install is done
Fuddle install is done Finally got my TC finished up today. Took me ~3 days of working on it due to various reasons. My wife worked this weekend so I had our 2 year old and was only able to really work on it while he slept, I kept running into hang ups like not being able to figure out the damn E-clips and my tranny cooler didn't have enough hose so I had to hunt down some tranny line which no one around here had. Had to drive an hour into Columbus to get it.
I just babied the convertor so far because I want to put some miles on it before laying into it. Everything is fine at the moment. No leaks, cool tranny, and the convertor has a nice feel to it. I got a 3500 stall with a 1.9 STR. I'll keep everyone updated as to my opinion after I hammer it. So far I couldn't be more happier with Fuddle Racing. John is awesome to deal with and the customer service is 2nd to none. I even called him in the middle of my install with a question and he helped me out over the phone. How awesome is that? Sorry John, you'll probably be swamped with install questions now but I thought it was awesome you were willing to do that.
ps
If anyone is planning on doing their install PM me and I'd be glad to pass along any info I can think of that made it easier and maybe save John a call or two.

Verdad Gallardo I put a shade over 100 miles on the car today taking it to work and back. The lock up was flawless and overall I'm really happy with it so far. I see no issues at all with it. I plan on putting it through it's paces in the next day or so and I'll update the thread.
I dropped the hammer on it tonight. WOW is all I can say. The TC made a huge huge difference. I really have no news on the convertor. It's worked perfectly since I installed it last weekend. No news is good news right? I haven't had to make any shift or line pressure adjustments although they were bumped up prior to the TC. The lock up has been perfect on it. I actually hooked up the G-Tech to see what improvements it made but forgot to hit the button the last time to start it so that didn't work out. After I nailed it I just held on for the ride. The shift extension was awesome, RPM's stayed up through the whole run. I'm hoping to get it to the track in the next couple of weeks and put down some numbers. I'll update then.
