What's your 60fts
 

Not sure where to post this but im trying to figure out what i should do.

I have a TH400, 3.42 gears and a Fuddle 4000rpm stall, car weighs about 3400lbs with me in it. H/C making 405rwhp unlocked.

1.73 60ft giving it all its got, 2 people watching both sides confirming no tire spin.

Converter holding me back or gears? Everyonce in a while i come accross full weight guys with SS4000 converters and 3.23's pulling 1.5x 60fts and im wondering whats up with my car.

That converter sounds like its flashing well under 4k

Definitly sounds like the converter is way off.When my car was just bolt ons and a Yank 3000 TT,i was going low 1.70s at 3500lbs.

converter/traction is WAY off.

with a fuddle 4000, TH400 373 gear and 28" m/t radial i went 1.37 60' a bunch of times with a stock bottom end (stock heads too) on a 150 shot.

oh and my car was well over 3600 lbs

Sounds like you need more converter. I have one of those full weight cars with the SS4000 and with a 100 shot pulled a 1.46 this past weekend with a little tire spin off the line. I have full suspesion spohn adj LCA, Spohn adj panhard bar, UMI LCA relocation brakets, UMI TA tunnell mount,UMI drag bar, stock shocks and springs.

i just watched taht video. that converter sounds like a stock converter. its nothing like what a TH400 4k stall should sound like going down the track.

ditch the converter and buy a good one.

I had a fuddle converter, It was a 2800 for my 4l60e.. Best 60' was a 1.67' with 3.73 gears 224 cam and ls6 heads making 373 hp.

Problem with fuddle now is that they switched owners and for a few months there the customer support was nothing. I talked to the owner, He said they were running a special on free re-stalls, I shipped it off, and all of a sudden did not hear back for could not contact the company. I tried e-mails, phnoe, etc. Turns out fuddle doesn't even make the converter...its howards converters in Utah that makes them under the fuddle name...After a month of not being able to get ahold of them I ordered up a vigilante 3600, my next 60' was a 1.590

Maybe you got a 2800 stall by accident, your pass sounded like my 2800 stall...LOL

Get a good brand 4000 stall and you will easily drop .15 off the 60' and near .25 on the big end.

I think all these comments convinced me to get a new converter. I think ill call yank and match up my combo. But I was personally thinking of getting a non lockup SS4000 since im not sure if i want to spray later on yet.

get an FTI converter. you wont regret it.

non lockup 4L60e? whats the point in that? why cant you spray the crap out of a lock up 4L60e converter? local cars have gone mid 9s on FTI converters in 4L60e

my car has a th400

Getting a non-lockup wont help you any spray or no spray. The converter should never see the lockup function making a pass/WOT anyway. Do not overlook Circle D converters. I have many years into my car and multiple Yank converters wich performed well. Switched to a Circle D and have never looked back. This converter I have hits like bricks (See sig pic) I would'nt trade it for anything the best converter I have had in my car to date.


Edit: I did not see you are running a TH400 (dont have lockup anyway), I watched the vid that converter is FLAT.

I have a very similar setup to you....

H/C/TH400/3.42/Fuddle 3600 stall. >> Netted me a 11.81 with a 1.63 60ft NA.

I would def. say its the converter, after talking to people and calculating my slippage swapping for a better converter is my next project. It seems alot of people have problems with these stalls.

Swapped converter from a Fuddle 4k to a Yank 4k and got my 60fts where i want them.

Pulled a 1.56 on my only pass that sort of hooked.

Lol old ass thread!

Even though it is an old thread, my old fuddle sounded the same. Put in a yank ss4000 and went from 1.8s to now 1.61s (still spinning quite a bit).
Hoping to see some mid 1.5s this weekend actually.

i could only get a 1.9 60foot out of my revmax 3600

I run 1.92 with my Revmax 3200 and 2.73's and that seems slow to me.

Are you guys spinning or is that dead hooking?
