Default Fuddle racing TQ converters

Has anyone used those converters? If somebody has used that brand how would a 2800 stall work on a LQ9 with a 221/221 cam?

I have had his converter in my truck and will soon have my restalled one in my truck need to get the engine in first

That will work well with it that is a very mild cam IMO for a 6L but that setup will give you great driveability.

In your truck you could get away with a 228 range cam with the light weight of you truck. A 6L can take a large cam and stillbe driveable. If I had an RCSB I would get a 230 duration cam with a 3200 stall and haul ***. How much of a concern is mileage? Then go from there.

I have had a fuddle hptruck for a few months now. I think the converter is great. My only complaint is that I ordered a 3200 stall. Even after giving John my truck's specs (weight, hp, etc) it ended up flashing ~3600. Now with the H/C LS1 in the truck, it flashes closer to 3800. Damn thing hits hard off the line though.

like bigkid i have had my fuddle in for a few months and i love it. best mod to date. and like bigkid mine flashes i think around 4K and it's supposed to be a 3200 2.2str verter. the only downside to the converter flashing so high is i can't launch on spray worth a crap now. that just means i need wider slicks. oh yea, driveability is great.

Why are they stalling higher than the advertised stall rating?
Do I need to order a 1000rpm TC from him so it'll stall around 2800 like I want?

Nope, not at all. Maybe I should have stated as more of a concern than a complaint. With the new setup, the extra stall is going to be really helpfull once I get a suspension/tire combo to hook it off teh line.

Kyle... I think it is mainly due to the weight of our trucks since they are only 9.5" converters. Fuddle is also new to the truck converter market so I think it will just take a little feedback from us for them to get the specs dialed in on them. They are not the only converters that stall higher than what they are rated at. Take a Vig for example.
