I have a fuddle, [see sig] and while it has been great for me I have been hearing that as a business fuddle has been somewhat unstable recently.
For that reason alone you may be better off with yank, vigilante or maybe tci.
Your choice of a 3600 stall sound's about right.
What kind of teeth do ya have in the ol' pumpkin? 2.73's or 3.23's?

I have noticed quite a few people voicing concerns over fuddle on several forums , not so much quality as delivery times and poor contact.So im not sure whats going on there, But have noticed

I was thinking about getting the $600 dollar Fuddle Racing converter with a 3500 stall on my car, with 4.10's. I want a good quality converter, but I'm not sure which company to go with now as Fuddle was dropped from the sponsors list.
I've seen some people acknowledging they've found out who sells the converters to John at Fuddle, and bought from him directly with better customer service.

in there for "vast", Bunkie.
"Vast" would be yer love of hyperbole.

take it with a grain of salt, it's mostly my fanboy-ness to yank's great track record against my disgust with fuddle's, so maybe it's an exaggeration, but yank is definitely superior to fuddle in all areas, be it efficiency, lock-up, build quality, power to the ground, etc...

Yank > Fuddle
BUT
I have been hearing about TCI's new Maxeffort converters. They are supposed to have a better effiency then the older TCI converters. And they are still around $500.
Since your concerned about price this may just be what you are looking for:

or
http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...d=673&catid=60
I like the 3700
But the 3200 is probably a little more street friendly.
