Well which is it? I just bought a Fuddle and am happy with it so far, but I seem to be getting a lot of mixed reviews on here now.

From what I've heard, if you have the money, Yank is the way to go. I went with a Fuddle for now because I don't plan on this tranny lasting to much longer after my TRex/head install and wanted something "temporary". Now, this does not mean Fuddle is not good. I haven't heard of any of them breaking and if they did Fuddle has great service and I'm sure they'd be willing to work with you. By temporary, I mean this one will be coming out and going for sale at some point!

On a side note, are you putting those 2.05/1.6 Valves in stock heads? Those valves seem to be a little on the large side...

Yes they are already fitted to stock 94 castings. My sig isnt very detailed but the heads are already ported and polished with those valves. 284 cfm at .6" lift, they are 198cc

Not to be a party pooper but this thread is worthless. There are like 3 threads just like this on the first page and they all ended the same. 90% of the people here are just going to choose what they have, heck that's normal for the simple reason not all of us have had the chance to try each one out.
I'm talking with Fuddle now for a torque converter for my setup. My Yank (I bought used) is not at all what it should be so Ill have a Fuddle while my Yank gets rebuilt. Then I will compare them both when it gets back.

What is your intention with this thread? If you are happy with it, why change? You are only going to get a raft of personal opinion here.

Same goes for any mod, any manufacturer. If it works, leave it, unless you like to throw money away...

I've spent enough money on my car to know that in the end, the differences between a mod from this manufacturer or that are marginal at best. Remember, its not the mod that makes the car, its the sum of its parts!

Not trying to get my opinion swayed, I really have no intention of switching. I was bored and wanted to see how people would vote.

i have a fuddle..its great i love it and its the right price for a budget built car...i have a 3200 for the sake that the tranny is stock my car is basically stock and i drive it everyday...but i do have a ss3600 waiting to go in as soon as my tranny takes a crap for argument sake to try out the big bad yank..but for someone that doesnt have a whole lot of $ to spend on there car and wants something better than stock, and to make there car funner to drive then fuddle is the way to go..great customer service and great warrenty (sp). it def. woke up my car and i love to drive it agan...but if you have the $ to spend on a yank, then so be it.. this is just IMO..

Cool. I got the impression you had bought something and were considering changing purely on internet opinion. Was just interested in saving you a few bucks.
