Definitely not in my garage. I pulled the VC off in your garage, and pulled it straight off the top. No way I took it with me.

When do you need your VC back?

Subs are ordered.

Hailey is back in the hospital with another cyst. This one ruptured already so we're hoping for no surgery. Been here for 5 hours. Probably won't be out for another 5.

Your fab has definitely come a long way from your first posts, if you ever feel like dropping some money on a new cup you should honestly look at the Fupa 12, ***** awesome man. Really does wonders with stainless and for like $50 or whatever it is the cups are absolutely worth it. Ever since I got it, it's been practically the only cup I use since I mostly do stainless ****. I usually run it at low 20's cfh and the coverage is ******* awesome.

I've considered it. I have some 10 and 12 cups I need to try out. I'm spoiled by the Pyrex cup right now because I can run like no stickout and still see things.

The fupa is pyrex as well which definitely makes it nice, you can get some crazy stickout and still get awesome coverage which I've found nice for exhausts and ****.

Yeah I had to get the conversion as well, blows but I'm happy I did it in the end. Do you have a gas lens on there? I thought I saw some sort of diffuser but couldn't tell from the pics. Either way your thread is making me want to fab a manifold and turbo my beater in the future haha

Singles sold, got some heavy doubles lined up for a decent deal.

With the subs head should be stronger than the bottom end for over rev.

Checked out a wedding venue today. Beautiful, 10,000 sq feet of covered space (hangars) and plane rides.

Oh and it's cheap, gotta love friends.

It's beautiful. And we can clear hangars out to have room for food and partying, if the weather isn't great.
