not happy with Fuddle, now what

Lower STR's won't hit as hard, but are more efficient up top and take more revs to get moving. Higher STR's are great if you can hook. I wanted the higher STR because I drive a lot more on the street than at the track. And as for the higher STR's being less inefficient up top...Yanks are supposed to keep a lot of their efficiency as compared to other brands. If someone else can explain that better please do. I have been researching this for some time now and feel that I have a decent understanding.

Weird. Installed a Fuddle 2800/1.8 into an early LS1 weighing 1.8 tons, stock cam, SD tune, exhaust and diff gears. Snaps 1.68-1.70 60' 12.5s QTRs 107.8MPH and can easily break the MT ET Streets off the line.
Just like a cam, a converter is not a solve-all for all your performance woes. Its the package, and if something else is not working right, overall performance suffers.
My Fuddle 3400 traps 122MPH full weight GTO all motor. You could consider looking past the converter and into your tune or other bits. Do you have a baseline before the converter?
I don't know what Fuddle is up to now, but so far his converters have been doing their job for me.

^^Yank's site
SS, PT, etc are different models/series that Yank produces....each has their own characteristics when it comes to performance, daily driving, and so-on. Call them and talk to Dave, go over your goals/plans/use with the car and he'll help you pick the perfect match for it; he's extremely helpful, he helped me out big time after a huge fallout w/ Fuddle.
