Haha, well... that is the problem. I don't. Yet anyway. I will this fall, but I don't now. I would just like to get the converter now so I can put the money this summer into slicks instead of te converter is all.

We had a few problems about 6 months ago. I was attempting to run the entire operation as far as orders, customer service, and technical help. I had a period when I was hospitalized. Converter quality is better than ever at Fuddle and customer service has more ability to shine than ever. Many people will never get over what happened half a year ago with my health, but sales are better than ever and we are making a lot of people very happy.

You simply won't find a more well built converter available on the market today. We built the HP/Street with a billet cover to house a clutch bigger than any company offers, and we use ONLY the highest quality internal components. With this it shines as the highest quality converter available. Also, no one can touch the value of our Performance Series as well. It is built to take huge amounts of power and come back for more as it has proven in many setups.

If you want the highest quality converters available and you want to save some good money, Fuddle is the choice.

I hope some of this helps, and in you have any questions please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
John

how can you say the highest quality converters available...can you prove that statement...if it is the highest quality i will still match my car vs any other fuddle car with the same size stall and str...that is just a bold statement to say the highest quality converters available...

Not too bold of a statement. The HP/Street simply won't be outdone in longevity and durability. NO company has a clutch that size. Most don't come close. The Performance Series will compete with ANY company out there.
You have been through the performance argument about a year ago and several Fuddle customers were more than willing to put their converters up against yours. You think yours is faster, they think theirs is. In all honesty, deep down you know that performance is similar. However, the Fuddle customers have a better warranty standing behind them and those with the HP/Street have more clutch for longevity and durability.

As far as daily driving is concerned, street feel is identical between the two.

How do they handle regular daily driving? I would like a 3600 stall that feels as normal as I can get it during regular driving, but still has a big kick to it.

I think I may give you guys a try . I think I'm going to go with your HP/Street converter though because especially with the sale I can get that one for cheaper still the Yank, and have the best quality one from you guys (so I don't have to worry about it breaking even one little bit, plus then I'll be prepared for anything in the future).

Not superior performance wise, just the same, but better durability he says.

I need to call my my torque converter builder and tell him that the clutch he just put in can't possibly be as big as this one!

Seriously, though, I know this post isn't really a "contribution" to the thread, and I'm not one to stick my nose into this kinda stuff, but these are really big claims...unless you can actually back the crazy claims up, it kinda seems like you're trying to take advantage of less informed LSX owners. A better statement would be: "We know of no other company with a bigger clutch" or: "Very few companies make a clutch this large" Just a thought.

To each his own. We all have our 1st Amendment rights. Good luck with your business...

No i think you better reread the other posts noone ever had anything close to what my setup was i will even race a 4000 stall with my yank...yes your converter will perform...not to the same status as a more efficient converter but it will perform... if you are so confident and have sold so many fuddle 3600 converters find someone near me to race that is still stock internal...and the results will be posted either way...

In my first post i was even vague and didn't directly say the word "yank" and then you say you have the highest quality converters available...just alot of talk and you are misleading neebie members...i am sure i am not the only one that would like you to stand by your words and show proof...without that you have just false claims...

Are you still making your converter from stock junk yard cores...I know you were looking to buy mine for around $50 when i took mine out

agreed...nice times...what has he done to the car...i think there might be a reason why there are not many fuddles if any at all on the SI list or Cam only list...

and yes he did 60 better but the mph is not there...most likely it stalls higher than 3400 the actual rated size...my mph was 115.4 yeah on a great day so say 114...with the stock manifolds and converters...

I wasn't trying to get into a debate just thought what fuddle said was a little over the top with no proof...i have never heard any other sponsor say anything as forward as he has...that is why i posted again...
