Anyone have any experience with them? I'm looking into ordering a 3600 stall from them. I recall them being a very reputable brand and their prices seem pretty killer.

Also, I read the stickies on converters. But I still don't fully understand the lockup function of a stall. I know that if it locks up, the ratio is 1:1 and no torque is mulitiplied. On my stock stall, I know it locks up at 50 mph in 4th gear. When would it ever be suitable for it to lock up at WOT? Why would you want it to not mulitiply torque? I could only see this suitable at highway cruising speeds. How would I program the PCM on my 93 to lockup? Would I just get it programmed to lock up at the same conditions as stock (ie at 50 mph in OD)?

Thanks for the help

The lockup is for gas mileage. You never want it to lock up at WOT.

Also, i had my fuddle for a month or so until my tranny blew. It was AWESOME from a 30 roll. It threw me in my seat harder than any car I've ever driven. My performabuilt feels more like a stock converter until I really get on it. Don't know which I like better.

Nice, I have been leaning towards Fuddle's, i've seen quite a few cars going 8's/9's on them, so I figured they had to be worth while.

I read a little on LS1tech and saw they have some negative customer service reviews... anyone else want to comment on this? I'm mainly looking for information like reliability, quality, performance, etc.

Thanks

A lot of people jumped on the Fuddle bandwagon early on so I made the mistake of getting one of their converters. Was a 3400/2.1STR and it didnt stay very tight, and was a sloppy piece of junk. Also ate up a lot of HP. I swapped it out for an Edge converter and loved it. They are similarly priced and have one of the best converters on the market. I'd say they are one of the best kept secrets as far as our cars go..

Not stalking you I just have no life today. I've pretty much been there and done that with all your LT1/performance questions. Check out your fast thread under technical discussions.
