I'm feeling more and more secure in purchasing a couple of orion Alphas everyday.. I've had 2 sirio Evo4 sti's and a eXtech .24 and liked all 3. I still have all 3 actually, but the two Evos are pretty well wore out, and past their prime. The eXtech has been a good motor, I ran it in truggy, until I sold truggy, then used it in buggy w/2057 pipe, and like it alot.. Fuel mileage could be better, but it take great trigger finger to keep tires from not breaking loose at every corner.. I did have it pinched once at 4 gallons, but it was entirely my fault, it was lean, and I didn't recognize soon enough, and when it started running poorly I leaned it more rather then richen, which caused this motor that normally ran around 210 to hit nearly 300, and it lost compression almost immediately after that.. But I learned a very important lesson..

PitPop when you all do test, will you try the 2066 pipe at all? I ask because it is offered in a couple of the orion combos for the Alpha.. If I can get a combo that works well then I would just as soon do that, but have no problem running/getting a different pipe either..
