The main difference between myself and Fuddle is I never tried to sell converters. They needed to sell them to eat. I sold them based on request. They were a forum sponsor, and I was not, so I respected them. I was lucky. I stumbed upon an anal retentave, small, family owned shop that built converters. Every time they built me a performance converter, their peckers got hard. They enjoyed doing them that much. I sold a few based on inquities, and it spread through word of mouth. I guess what I am trying to say is there is no such thing as a PeteK converter. Only a PeteK box with someone else's converter. Everyone who bought one knew this. If I had to buy one other than my guy's, it would be a converter from Andre at Edge. To my knowledge, no one had been unhappy with a converter I sold them. I have sold 3 converters to guys who pulled out their Fuddle to install mine.
Pete, my biggest mistake was to order from Fuddle and not you. At that time Fuddle had Christmas sale and their price was really good, and I was in not so good financial situation (with tranny rebuild) so I had to look out for every $. Their TC looked like quality unit for good price. I'm not 100% sure but I think full price was $590 and with sale I've got it for $490. So I went with their TC over what you offered to save ~$50. What a mistake to make!
Don't get me wrong. So far, converter acts really good. It's not loose when cruising and when driving hard it puts smile on my face. It would be dishonest from me to tell that TC is junk. But "Fuddle Racing" company and it's owner are different story.
Never any hard feelings. I was always happy for the sales I made, and never concerned myself over someones alternate choice. Fuddle was a forum sponsor, and I was not. Fot this reason, I likely would have bought theirs as well, if I were you. For every converter I sold, I lost 10 or more sales. For me, it certainly was more hobby than business. You are hooked up, and all is well
