Hi guys, Sorry i haven't posted in awhile. I have been sooooo busy at the shop with all kinds of crazy projects. Just wanted to let you all know that Orange fevers "Pumpkin" VF stage 3 kit is all done :) So far the car has over 1500miles on it with no issues. Its first run was all the way to Vegas for the SEMA show. I just recently did the break-in oil change and everything checked out ok. Now the car is a monster :D It also is very driveable when your not in it, but who could resist with all that power ;) The build was very long and very intensive. I double and triple checked everything during the build. I made sure all clearances were within specs. As you all know quality takes time. A motor build is nothing to be rushed. We haven't been able to dyno the car yet cause Jayare is too busy driving it :D I will post some pictures of the build tommorow. Overall it came out really nice. Also for those who havent seen the engine bay, It looks as good as it runs. I'll keep you guys posted on all SBA project cars. Gotta run, have to get back to work.

I went to Southbay Autohaus and those guys were very professional and nice. I will say this though, "That guy Ralph in the front is a dick and kind of a wierdo. He reminds me of one of those guys on Dateline. You know, one of those onilne predatators!!!" Other than that SBA rocks!!!

561 on pump, nice you should run a hpf car now,a stage 2 or 2.5,but i think hpf need to run on meth and pump to be the same with your numbers.
