Just Installed: Fuddle 3400 Stall 2.1 STR Wow!! Wow guys is all i have to say. Just got done installing the following:
Fuddle 3400 Stall 2.1 STR converter
BM tranny cooler
Autometer CF series trans temp gauge
"hypertech tuning" (just for shift points, firmness, rev limiter)
i have a 98 so no torque management but wow this thing is a whole different car pulls harder everywhere, still moves at idle, locks up on the highway the same, 60mph at 1400 rpms is great and leaving the line at 2600 footbrake stall also sweet. any questions guys would be willing to answer .

I talked to John at fuddle and he recomended the same stall and str. I plan on buying one over the summer. Now you got me debating on headers or stall first. Hope to get the same results. Congrats.
one more thing. how is it off the line with street tires. is it hard to get traction

I installed a Fuddle 3000 1.9 in my car last year and it acts just like a stock convertor when it locks/unlocks. Whatever the problem, if it's the convertors fault, John will make it right.

well i don't have the time, nor the money to keep pulling the trans and changing converters either this is kinda ridiculus i have no idea what it is. the other features of the converter are awesome though thats what bugs me.

Just got recommended the same stall as well. Any notice in mpg difference? How does the car feel from a 30+ mile roll under WOT AND at around 1/2-3/4 pedel? I also dont think the clunking is normal you should have the looked at. Final question, when you punch it on the street what the the converter flash too?

How much did you guys pay for your install....
I just got word back from Fuddle today...He recommended a 3000 with a 2.0 STR for my Procharged SS...He said it will still be VERY streetable which is what i wanted...this should get me at least 1/2 a second Im sure...
Has anyone gotten the chance to see what kind of times they knocked off if so list your stall size and time difference...
Sorry for all the questions I hope Im not stealing this post...Im just about to make the purchase and wanted to know what to expect...TIA

All 98-02 fbody's came with torque management. The bigger stall you go with, the more likely you'll have tm issues. Some of the earlier years aren't as finicky when adding a stall as later models, but it's really a crapshoot. Most of the time a 3400 or higher stall will require tq mgmt retuning regardless of year.
