Default ANOTHER fuddle 3400 2.1 str review

Well, convertor is in, first impressions are GREAT, can't belive the drive-ability, I was expecting much worse... basically if you feather the throttle YOU can tell its there, but my wife would probably never know... if you gas it in the least little bit even 1/4 throttle the car jumps to life and the "slipping" feeling stops. and at that point the car is much faster.... don't have the cooler installed yet so im not really beating on it much at this point did a few pulls and it's unreal. very happy at this point Jon. I hope the convertor is a work or don't work thing cuz right now its a working, and im a liking!!!! also when the car shifts now, it falls back to 4800 instead of 4k so it stays well into the power band. this is with no tunning once so ever. installed and went.



I may notice the "slipping" feeling more when i do exhaust. it's stock. (meaning I may notice it cuz the car will be louder and not moving as quick as it did)

Good to hear! I'm not sure how long I would drive without a cooler though. This is the same verter that Fuddle recommended for me as well. Can't wait to get her installed!

Does it shift as hard as it did with the stock converter?

humm, did'nt really tell a diffrence... but then again i have only hit it maybe 3-4 times... I'll have to pay attention... I have heard that it does soften the shifts up with out tunning. I'll post up when i come to a conclusion. but like I said I have not gotten the cooler on yet so I'm kinda being a puss about it.

sounds stock... I have noticed it kinda stumbles down to 350-400 if i touch the gas and then let off very quick, but then it jumps right back to 500 (where i idle stock) has not stalled.
