Default Fuddle Converter @ the Track

Fuddle 2800 Torque Converter results:

Before TC:
14.2 @ 96 (2.1 60') - AWESOME WEATHER
14.3 @ 95 (2.1 60') - Normal Muggy FL WEATHER

After TC:
13.8 @ 96 (1.9 60') - Normal Muggly FL WEATHER

Just results. Not much to talk about.
I'm happy with it.

Do it man, you'll like it.
Not to mention, these results are with a relatively small converter too.

Heck, a 2600-2800TC/4.10Gear/26''Tire combination would kick some *** at the track and be plenty street-able when you swap back to your 30'' or so tire for cruising.

Combination, Combination, Combination.

John recommended a 2800 for my current setup and a 3200 for a future bigger cam. I really don't want to go any higher than 3000. May have to pull back the size of that future cam.

Thats a nice gain, around 4-5 tenths from a TC swap, awesome.

How are the shifts for firmness now?, at WOT and at part throttle?

peace

Tdrumm. I had mine designed with nitrous in mind only because I was looking for street-ability... and I use N2O on occasion.
Nitrous creates peak cylinder pressure (peak TQ) sooner than the engine does all-motor... Depending of course on when you actually activate the nitrous.
This called for a smaller converter, which makes it more street-friendly.
I pretty much took the same approach the Radix guys have. Stronger and sooner torque curve, so less converter was needed....
I'm still an all-motor sorta guy but, get the right gear/tire/cam exc. in for the combination and you'll be fine.

File. My converter has a 1.9 stall-torque ratio

Hog. They are firm but mainly due to my transmission being vacuum modulated, built by Rock-On.

Looks like that Fuddle Converter is working good for you. I hope I see similar gains with my Yank TT2600 with 2.1 STR.
