i dont know one I got a fuddle and it SEEMS fine...will know more tonight. I'd say get a 10.5 inch...NOT 9" Precision maybe...Mike Brown used midwest on his 80e....prolly the best route to go since its proven. Carl Rossler is the one who told me to call P.I. and get the 10.5" converter

Do a google for Continental Converters - they made mine and it kicks ***. They make a lot of converters for Pro Stock cars.

anyone run a yank 4l80e 3k stall?

Cable; You might want to shot some juice through that app if you want to get the most out of that Badger Killa!!

I just got my GF one, short-haired lite-brown toy, she is about 5 1/2 mths now and weighs no more than 10 pounds... interesting, the day i got her, she was as timid looking and relaxed, almost extremely shy, as yours.... BUT, after a few weeks, well, know you better keep an eye on her.. she'll trash your brand new pair of sneakers before you know they were even gone. Sneaky little guys!!

kyle: Im not cable but i just got one. ITs a dachsund. They have two or three, depending how you look at it, different sizes toy, mini, and reggie. They go from as littles as 9-10 pounds and up.

They have an interesting characteristic, they bascically feel as if they own you, not the other way around! They go "partially-hard-of-hearin'" when they got their nose into something or are running away from you with something they know they shouldn't have.

mine is a tweenie...not mini but not full size...she is 10 weeks old now. Our male is 2 and she whoops his ***. They wrestle and she bites all over him and growls and it is hysterical. They are just playing but its funny to watch them.....he lays on his back and waits for her to attack. You are right, they are damn determined when they follow that nose. She will get to about 12#...he is 14# now. They are both asleep on the couch right now like a bunch of lazy asses.

yeah, i hear that. Those teeth when smal are like razor blades. I can't mess with her for more than 5 minutes before she draws a nice scratch. Funny, her mouth with those teeth always remind me of a baby gator or something!!

10wks huh? Yeah, she is like my GF's. Her nose isn't as elongated, narrow, as most weenies i have seen, alot widered than what i had thought...

now, if i could only get mine to relax like that on the couch and give us a break for 5 minutes... that would be a miracle!!
