What brand stall should I get?
i have a performabuilt stall they seem pretty good.. i got the tranny and stall combo though... the stall seems tight which i like for around town but when i smash the gas i can roast my 315's
I still do not know where the fuddle bashing has come from besides their spurt of less then favorable customer service over a year ago. Quality wise they have always been great pieces. I have been DD'ing their mid level converter for a bit over a year, and it is an amazing piece for the price of $450+ shipping with a great warranty and restall option. It has a lot of the same specs that many other high end convertors use - 1/2in balloning plate, larger and stronger clutch, hand brazed fins, etc. It is the cheaper furnace brazed restalled stockers and low end cheap convertors like B&M and TCI's that can really hurt a cars potential.
Yes, I have driven other convertor brands before - a 2800 TCI POS that felt like a 3400, and a 3000 edge that was a huge improvement. My 3200 fuddle I have now is most definetly on par with the edge I had while being 50+ bucks less, and I cannot tell the difference in drivability(it is only rated 200rpm higher so even among the same brand will not feel much different...).
I cannot make a comment on dyno numbers or times variation since it is a different car, but their are definetly worst brands to go with then a fuddle. Not saying a Yank isnt better - it most definetly is - but fuddle is not garbage, and is more then enough for all but the most extreme street/strip LT1s.

So is there nobody else on here that uses Hughes Racing converters? It seems to be a great converter and dropped my e.t. over half a sec. Now I haven't used any others before but I've never had any problems with mine.
Puck there were a few discussions about Fuddle converters awhile back. Someone posted quite a few pics that showed similiarities between the clutch fuddle used compared to a stock GM 4cyl lock up clutch.
Stall wall issue may or may not be present in a 94/95 app.

I have considered them before but never actually got much feedback either.
What "level" converter was it? I would expect a similar to stock clutch in the base ~$350 one. The mid and top level converters most definetly use a much larger then stock clutch.

I've seen some converters with two dimentionals dia...
let's say 10"/12" 10" part for hi stall and 12" part for the lock up
they say 12" for lock up is far better for lock up accuracy & stamina
( longevity)
are these really better then straight all 10" or 9.5" (function wise?)
a good t/c is quite an investment ,...

Flashes to 4300, foot brake to 3500. It is very effecient, On the dyno I made 441 rwhp unlocked and 463 rwhp locked.

Glad to hear it. I often think our converters get over looked and they are really and excellent product just not promoted as well as they should be so many miss out.
