Hey Dan, How do you get your stuff to fireball…

I know theres a local pickup/dropoff off of Dixie there but they  
seemed kinda sketch last time I went there to pick up my stuff.

Do you drive Directly to Them?

What is fireball coating your intake manifold with??

The issue with the casting of the knock off manifolds and leaks is with the flanges (head/tb), it’s not actually leaking through the aluminium. Same as the bootleg oil pans.

Well he says “Any issues/holes with the casting will be filled and the runners will most definately be smooth.”

and it’s the intake manifold runners I’d want to see… so I’m assuming he’s talking about the intake, and there arn’t any casting issues on the exhaust, which is why i’m curious as to why they would coat the intake manifold.

Not all of the pans leak, same with the manifolds. But people have had problems with them.

I am doing BOTH intake and exhaust manifolds.

And this time I met Mark (owner) at his house on Saturday. I’ll pick them up with him again this Thursday evening.

His house is just south of Oraneville but takes an hour off round trip

Jantos isn’t the type of guy who’ll just slap a turbo on and rock the casba.

I’m sure he’ll be in the 350-400rwhp range, or my name isn’t Rick James…bitch.
