Thumbs up Another Big thumbs up for Fuddle

Just put a 3600/2.2, Hp/Street in along with Longtubes and ORY. I knocked a Full second off my ET and gained 6mph. I was hitting the Rev limiter on both shifts so i think theres more in this setup. You can hardly tell a difference with this converter except the softer shifts and being able to light up bfg's at will. Overall great product, well worth it's weight in gold. And again Great Customer Service.

I have the same converter coming. Congrats on the times. What kind of 60's? And what tires? I'd love to get a second of mine. I'd need heards and a good ORY.

My Best run a Pulled a 1.8 60' and I launched right off about 1200rpms, getting me a 12.75 pass. My previous runs were at 2500, and 3000 but i was spinning off the line and getting 2.0-2.1 60' and 13.0-13-2's passes.

I had a tune after. I needed shiftpoints changed b/c I was bouncing off the Rev Limiter 3x on my 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. I had line pressure bumped up a little and my lockup bumped up into the 4 shift. I did'nt have any Torque Managment issues.

I put my fuddle 3500/2.2 in and I went from 2.0 sixty ft on stock converter to a 1.59 sixty ft with fuddle and 12.6 to a 11.8 in the quarter and thats on a car lowered 1.5 inches and all factory suspension, factory weight including spare tire with Mickey Thompson Drags. I would have to say Fuddle is the best bang for the buck and best overall customer service. I can footbrake to 3000 rpms. I havent tried flashing yet. So there could be more.

Flash stall, what the RPM will slide up to against the inertal
load of the car (vs the limited holding power of the brakes).

Tell you what, I got a quote from them a month ago, talked to them a little. They've sold me just on their warranty and service alone. I'll be buying a Fuddle.

His MPH gain can't be attributed to the converter alone,
I believe he had the new headers on as well? I forget
the series of events but there's more in the mix than
just the converter.

And its hard to believe I had a guy a week ago bashing my Fuddle, telling me that they were pieces of junk. Guess he just had his head up his ***.

Noticed after I posted he added headers. Still a nice gain.

After My 13.72 run we did alot of tweaking and tuning. Pedal slack was adjusted and my a/f was leaned out a little. Longtubes, and ORY were installed while doing the converter. Also Shiftpoints were changed....so yes there was quite a few factors other than the converter alone.
