SFP

They know their ****, they recently sponsored my friend Rocky (onefastb18c) full. He makes a crap load of power, and the motor hasn't had one single problem. Frank and the crew at SFP definately know their ****.

I'm sure JG does some real nice motor builds for those big time drag cars but I doubt they'll do the same for some regular joe blow.

Bensons, out here in SoCal. SFP blew the motor of a guy that I sold a Rev Hard kit too, and who is a member on this site. I don't know if they built it wrong, or just messed up on the dyno, or just plain made a human error. Anyway, I swear by Bensons. Bensons is the ****.

Speaking of benson's... anyone know a Red CX <i think> 92-95 hatch in cali, stripped with racing seats with a benson's sticker on the 1/4 window, revving the DOGSHIT out of the car at the Ontario street races about a year and a half ago? I LOVED that car. I visited out there for SEMA a while back, and I was just wondering if anyone had a clue who it was? I'd like to talk to the person about his combo.

I wasn't saying SFP is perfect. Nobody is when the wick is trimmed that short.

Now Benson's, there's a company I'll never ever use. 5 blocks in almost two years, and all their sleeves fell out? I'll put my money elsewhere.

We've been running 10 second street cars with Bensons motors for years and not had any problems. Anyway, I wasn't knocking SFP's build quality, I was just stating the fact that they blew his motor up.

these guys aren't well known because they don't advertise but they're known within the industry. they used to build bergenholtz racing motors last year when they went 9.45. they had more room to go before signing on with aebs and getting a totally different set-up.

they do race heads for rado, ecko car, etc.

they have a b series motor package they can build for any customer. it's the very same package they use in the race cars. they can guarantee you about 500-600hp to the wheels with the right turbo set-up and fuel. of course that costs an arm, leg and another arm. but you get the point.

I don't remember that car but I remember a 92-95 yellow turbocharged coupe. That **** smoked the **** of just about everyone i saw it race. Anyway, **** Ontario street races. Always a bust.
