Default Fuddle owners >

Hey ive been reading up on different brands of converters and i like the Fuddles purely for the price and warranty/upgrade policy. i was just wondering if any fuddle owners have any negative experiences to share (i realize every company has a handful of negative feedback but i was looking for repetetive problems). Thanks a lot.

Works great for me, but I've never had any other converter. I've driven a TCI and ridden in a Vig, but it was too long ago to remember exactly what they were like.

I just got my 3400 2.1 in yesterday. So far it works good enough to burn the tires all the way through third gear, great for leaving some crazy black marks. If I could put the power down it would launch pretty hard.

Well, one complaint.
They should warn you that launching your car will become addicting after you put in one of their stall's.

i am told not to trust them seeing as they are a new company and dont have enough experience but 95% of all reviews i get are positive feedback.

Mine doesnt chatter at all, I am very pleased with it so far. I thought that most of the chatter problems are from people with very large stalls and tuning issues, but I could be wrong.

May just be mine in particular, but mine launches pretty good but is not very efficient up top. Not too good traps
