Don' t get me wrong when I say this, but I ALMOST regret spending so much for my SS3800. I LOVE IT, but when I see how many people love their Fuddles, it almost hurts. I have to say their customer service was good too. I posted a couple questions, in forums, and they responded right away. What I do know, no matter who you get your converter from, is get some VERY sticky tires!!! I know I need 'em...

Yeah you guys will LOVE your stalls. Makes the car so much fun, except now I can't hook up... Plus I really want a trans temp gauge for my own peace of mind.

Thats the same one I put in a month or so ago.. Feels good. Times are in sig plus 30K miles between runs.

I just used my floor jake (and a 1/2" long 2+4 between jack and tranny) and use a pull/latch strap to make sure it doesnt fall off. Did it by myself in a day with some beer breaks.
