Well since you asked........
I had a fuddle for a few weeks, I never installed it so I can't say how well it performed. I can say they were a horrible company to deal with. The converter finally showed up about two months late and I was less than impressed with the appearance and packing.

We have many customers running them. We haven't heard of any complaints or failures...EXCEPT...As already stated, their customer service is terrible! They won't answer calls or e-mails most of the time.

I run one, and its been great. I talked to John on the phone and told him all about my car. He recommended a setup and thats exactly what i got.

I guess he's hard to get ahold of these days?

Well I just ordered a performance 3000 2.1 str on Friday and he said I would have my converter by next Friday. I will be installing it on Saturday and will give a full review of My experience of Fuddle.

Good Luck!
He told me the same thing, then I couldn't get ahold of him for two months, then the converter showed up out of nowhere the day after my Yank got here.

If I don't get my converter by Friday like he promised, Then I will put stop payment on my Credit card and Go with an edge converter, I would have jumped all over the VIG if it wasn't 5 years old.

I had the same customer service issues.. but the converter is fantastic compared to the B&M, and two other "race" converters I've had in other cars over the years, which brand names elude me.

My fuddle came when it was supposed to and they called me to find out exactly what I wanted promptly. It actually showed up faster than it was supposed to. Still haven't installed it as doing work on a car in 100plus temps in monsoon season sucks.

This was about 2-3 months ago.

I got ahold of John without many problems. If I decide to go with them, I'll be giving a very comprehensive review on their performance.

I just had a re-stall for bigger nitrous use and it was timely. Delivered yesterday double boxed with snout protected. Not an instant turn around but this is a custom converter and a small company. Emails are answered always.

500+ street miles so far with a 5000 stall N/A SBC powerglide car. It's comfortable for a 5000. I can get up to speed in traffic without passing 2500rpm. It'll cruise 70mph at 3000rpm. over 25 runs never slower than 11.40 with a best of 10.64. All were off the transbrake also. Goodluck!

Would you rather I lied to you. I told you it has 2k on it, which it does, ran two trans coolers to be safe, came out of a healthy trans, and cut some 1.65 60fts. But hey, like I said, good luck.
