At Last! Ray Pampena coming to Puerto Rico!

Yes!!!! Looking forward to Ray Pampena coming to town tomorrow night!

After a full year of building "La Maquina" we are now ready for some serious tuning.

It all started a year ago that we began talking to Ray on ideas for our project and working on this build with our local Master Builders from Predator Performance, Omar, Joel, Rafa and Vince. Predator for the assembly and custom design headers among many other parts! Also, need to thank the Pampena Motorsports Team, Ray and Dave for the support and build of the stroker, transmission, transfer, heads, manifold, cams, etc... but most important the long distance support through out this long process.

There were many others who helped with parts when not available else where, they had them! Nelson, thanks for the CC Clutch! Gilbert from GCTech for the huge and good looking manifold, Daniel and team at 3SX, suspension, transmission and big brake kit from Philip at Super Car Engineer and IPS Motorsports. Finally the custom paint from Jose at Proffesional Car Paint with my favorite Ferrari Scuderia Charcoal Gray.

None of this would have would been possible without the support of Empresas Velazques and their products STP and Gabriel, Olein Manufacturing with Cristal Products, Monster Oil, PR Wheels Magazine, Super Compacto and Osvaldo Frigger with his program No Hay Liga!

Sorry if I missed anyone since the list is too long.

Will post the list of parts in a separate post due to the size of it!

Here is a link with some pictures of the build, enjoy!

Nutz! More info when available pleez!

I'm on my way! A little 3s weekend coming up.. should be fun

Ray is awesome, he has came to my town when he was buying his red VR4 in Alabama. Unfortunately my car wasn't ready for tune but he worked on other cars here. We took him out to eat etc. I originally met him at NG but didn't talk to him that much then. Since then he has been to BRG and I think another NG. Anyway I've talked to him a good bit in those times and he drops golden nuggets of information. He is somebody you want to pay attention to for sure. Not to mention one of the nicest people you will ever meet.

Oh I hope you have Quick there.

BTW this is some pretty impressive shit!

That collector is seriously impressive indeed. Great build!

Hope you get some good results

I believe they cracked 800, I can't recall if it was posted on facebook.

Cracked 800, and ran out of fuel is the call.

Nice one that is great, i can't keep up with things on Facebook forums are much better.

What caused the lack of fuel? Injectors can do much more than 800. Can't tell what fuel pumps from description. If it's twin 255 than that makes sense. Twin 4xx walbro should do more than 800 also. Wondering what the bottle neck is. Either way, 800 is sweet:D

We were able to do 810whp at 29-30 pnds of boost on the Mustang Dyno which is about close to 900 at a Dyno Jet based on Ray's experience. We had a 400 Warbro plus an external pump and still ran out of fuel pressure. Then tried to do a twin internal set up but ran into a bottleneck with the parts we had on hand.
We were having some issues with voltage as well so had to order a new Battery and Alternator. Had fixed the fuel pump and voltage issues and hopefully next week will roll back into the Dyno.

Wow can't wait to see what it can do, are you having Ray come back once the fuel issues are resolved?
