I know Fuddle is no longer a sponsor...but I was just curious if Circle D and Performabuilt noticed the new site bashing them...

That's probably one of the reasons they are no longer a sponsor. That and long shipping times and converters that have failed.

HAHAHAHA like fuddle has room to talk. I will put in 20 Circle D converters and a 10 Performabuilt Transmissions in my car before I let another Fuddle trash converter get within 100 feet of my car.

Yes we did notice but of no concern why would it be. It is a sad move on the part of any business when it has to bash or down talk a competitor to make themselves look good. It would appear they are unable to stand on there own merit. IMO

HAHAHAHHAHAH

That is freaking HORRIBLE. If I wanted a converter and was looking at JUST their website and came up on that page it would rule them out. A sad, sad, sad tactic.

It is true and it would seem since they have been around a while, They would realize that trashing/bashing and putting down your competitors in any business really generally leads people away from you. The correct way again is to show the best aspects of what you have to offer and let the consumer look at there other options themselves and decide. Stuff like this I see the same as I see dirty politics even if i was a member of the party using them I would very likely consider the other side for that very reason.

We got a tip a week or so ago about that site, total slander, but not worth the effort to do anything. With all the negative feedback, anybody who buys from them now does not do their research.

"Fuddle" doesn't build his own converters anyway. He has Howard's converters build them all for him. He's really one to throw stones in that regards...

I thought he should have been dropped from the site years ago. He was one of those always-in-trouble sponsors.

This is funny stuff considering the junk **** that comes from "fuddle" and "howards". I bought a 3800 Stall when Fuddle was still getting good reviews and such. I swear to god if it is **** I will drive to salt lake and toss this **** box threw his window.
