Got my Fuddle Racing Stall today!

Right on time as promised. It came double boxed, and was in great condition. I cannot say enough about how wonderful an experiance it has been workign with John Camron at Fuddle! Told him what I needed, got input from him, and even some technique! Had a deadline I needed to meet and he met it to the exact day promised.

Install it and my Super Cooler this weekend, then put it through its paces at the strip on the 9th! YEEEEEHAAAAAAW!

I got a Performance series 3000K stall. I am not sure what the stall torque ratio is on it, but I can call John and find out. I plan on updating everyone on my thoughts after I run at the track on the 9th. My car is pretty basic, with just bolt ons so the Performance Series will meet all my needs with ease. I am hoping that I will be able to show my friends who are using TCI 2400s that they should get some Fuddle Converters. Stepping up from the 2400 to a 2800 even would be a nice move for them.

Actually, Fuddle makes a great converter. We have many customers using them, and are very happy with them.

A converter and MTs... your sixty foot times should increase drastically.

I was kinda hoping they would decrease!!

Yeah If I can run some 1.7s Ill die, but some 1.8s or 1.9s would make me very happy. Along with some 12.x ETs. My car seems to trap higher then other cars with similar mods, so I am hoping the added traction will net some good results.


BTW I called fuddle today to ask about break in and such, and even there after the sale service is excellent. I am so happy I choose them. I also cannot thank you all enough for talking me out of a budget one size fits all converter.

CZ28.com RULEZZZZZZZ! HEH

I'm one of those customers using a Fuddle 3000 stall 2.1 str for a little over a year now. So far, so good. Just been giving it daily street abuse, haven't been to the track yet.

Dude! you have have to come out to Montgomery Motorsports Park on the 9th and run with us! Several board memebrs with be there, and the track is completely resurfaced. We sure would like to have you!

I would love to see your numbers once you hit the track. What slicks are you running?

As promised here is a track update on my Fuddle 3000 Converter. I hit 1.8 60's all night long (Considering I am not very modd'd at about 300rwhp). I could have probably run a bit better as I was running 23lbs in my MT DRs and flashing to about 1800-2000RPM but why ruin a good thing.

Needless to say I was very pleased even though I didn't break into the 12's. My traps were lower then the previous owner 100mph, 101mph vs. The previous owners 102mph I ran 8.5 8ths at 85mph so bottom end was there and the hook was there, but the top end was non existant. However ETs dropped from 13.6 (previous owner) to 13.3. So its time to reevaluate my options and see what I can come up with. Somthing isnt right.

No doubt. But other then an aluminum driveshaft, and new torque arm and bushing Im done with the drivetrain stuff. 13.3 isnt to bad considering it is only an intake and exhuast car
