[QUOTE="TurboV3nomVa, post: 5096992, member: 52287"] The motor wasnt what swayed me, it was the color really. I just cant give up this comp orange . I never was totally against MMR, just aprehensive cuz I thought they used off the shelf Manley pistons but now after learning about the pistons they use Im a lil more at ease. The pistons are made for MMR and have been tested along with CP and a few others and Mark feels these manleys are the best out of any they have used. Keep in mind MMR has made more power with a modular motor then anyone else in the world, not to mention they beat on their cars. Those pistons have held up well. The oil pump they use is the only thing I have heard anything bad about. Thats an easy fix tho. Of course I will need to talk to more MMR owners and get some feedback. Plus VT is way way wayyyy over priced and I'd do an Al P motor b4 going VT for prolly less then the VT. I dont know of any other real good longblocks that can compare to the MMR for the money, in fact there is no other longblock in that price range that can do what the 1150 stroker can do. Plus the stroker is gonna be only a few hundred bux more then the 1100 and I get billet instead of forged !!!! Also Mark said he could get me my motor within a month with a deposit. However Im close to doing a trade with my whipple plus cash for a THP twin 67mm kit. So I could do the THP for now if this works out for LESS then the Hellion and end up with the intake and fuel system. Then I can do the 1150 stoker longblock later this fall and end up with a comp orange twin turbo with a billet stroker, what could be better ? I got the Bogarts/Hoosiers already and now Im readty to put down some serious power . If the guy backs out of this trade then Im back to square one. Bottom line is after doin alot of research, talkin to car owners, Jim at THP, spoke to hellion too, spoke to Matt and alot of ppl on modular fords, turboforums, etc.... I just dont see the value in the Hellion. Its a good cookie cutter kit that fits well , ships fast , makes decent power, has a great warranty but at the end of the day its not the same kinda bang for the buck that the THP kit is. The hellion comes with a decent k member kit but I still need to get the conversion parts(THP includes) and the fuel system. The THP comes with rails in addition to the Sullivan.
