Default Fuddle Update

Well I got a Fuddle stall a little bit ago and did a little review post with some vids but had no solid #'s to give. Well today I got to use some Bfg dr's at the strip.
Well my 60foot went from a 2.074 to a 1.797, 330ft went from a 5.578 to a 5.105, 660ft a 8.422 @86.56 to a 7.933 @86.49 1000ft a 10.877 to a 10.392 and the 1320 a 12.956 @108.25 to a 12.478 @107.51.
I know there is still a little more in this thing but it will have to wait for even sticker tires and basic suspension mods.
Oh, I drive about 128 miles to the track run some passes then drive home.

Congrats on shaving 0.5 sec in the 1/4 mile. Hopefully, my Fuddle TC will arrive this week. Thought it would be here last week. I bought the #7 converter 3300/2.1 on the last go around in the GP section. Did you do any tuning before these runs?

Great improvement on the times man! I've got a fuddle 3000 myself. Hoping for a high 12 second ride when I get to the track.

How did that go for you? Since my Fuddle 3600 stall I hit rev limiters at WOT around 120. I ordered a predator to help tune for it. Will it help?
Also did you tune for your headers w the predator? If so could you
pm me on how you tuned your car with the predator for both.
Congrats on the times. Seems you and I have a pretty similar setup.

Well the Predator worked great for the rpm tuning. But as far as tweaking things for the headers *or other mods* you can only change spark and your air fuel ratio a little bit. But I have been happy with it. From my headers I gained 25hp/25tq at the wheels though im not sure how much of that was because of the predator. I had already had the tune installed long before the headers but played with the settings a little on that dyno.

Fuddle TC is scheduled for delivery today.

DevonsZ, which trans temp gauge do you have and where did you install the sender at to take temp readings?

I have an Autometer gauge from summit and I put the sending unit in the port above the shifter linkage.

I have been working on getting my Fuddle 3400 2.1 in for the last week. I have been busy though so my car is in pieces. It will be done next week. I will give an update next week. I can't wait to get that ***** in so I can feel the SOTP kick I have heard so much about. I am going to roast my tires all over town.

An inefficient converter will steal HP up top
and HP is your trap speed.

I got my new 3450/1.98 Fuddle installed
yesterday. Haven't gotten to wring it out
righteously just yet, because there is some
imbalance (need to try out the other two
orientations) and the new torque arm is
also needing adjusted. But the lockup clutch
sure does lock now, no slip up to the point
that unlock is commanded. Will see how
that holds up, and get some slip logs to
compare with the old one.

Well it was only like .7mph lower which can happen on any run. And I have traped 108 with this one just didnt hook as well out of the hole. But as Jimmyblue said some converters just arnt as efficient as others and can drop a few mph at the traps.
