Got rid of the fenders and the hood, fitment on Seibon is terrible.

Check the oil seal. If the oil's at all overfilled, the V3 tends to push out that oilseal, sometimes just oozing a bit (like yours), but sometimes losing a lot of oil.
I don't think you should be asking for advice on a forum like this. Rather contact Vortech and talk direct to them. My tuppence worth, YMMV.

Some folks have found that filling to the middle of the dipstick hash marks led to some oil being burped up during heavy use. When you say looked good, was it at or beyond halfway? |

I tuned an auto with a vortech a bit ago. Did some street testing post dyno and had an absolute blast. The vortech is my fav fi for dd on the market. It has a great upgrade path for more power and a nice responsive linear power range.

Well this thread doesn't have a ton of life in it but here we go. Does anybody have an 11psi pulley they want to trade for a 13psi pulley?
