Thank God that horsepower is no respecter of persons. That is the one equalizer in the aftermarket world! Horsepower doesn't care if you have $5 or $500,000. It wants what it wants, and that is it. I count myself fortunate to be allowed to look at the same engine every day and try to figure out how to get a little more out of it.
Here is to all of the people that scrounged around the junk yard and found the charger off the M-11 to put on their 5.9l, to all of the people that do their own timing, to all of the people that tried something with their trucks that someone on the forums said would not work, to all of the people that bought valve springs to spin the R's and not the 22" rims and bling, to all of the people that are after nothing other than that feeling when you get pushed back in the seat and pushed past that $50k truck being driven by a chromosexual with all the shiny parts in your $2,500 rustbucket, to all of the people that bought diapers this week and groceries next week, take care of business but find a little work on the side to buy the parts that do make your truck go fast and not the parts that look good.
Thank you for choosing us for your parts! We have no fancy logo, no fancy marketing scheme, no budget to speak of, but thank YOU for allowing us to serve you. This last few years has been hell on us trying to build a business in this economy, but I count myself lucky to be able to tear up engines, drive fast, pay my tickets, blow stuff up, build it better and meet some really cool folks along the way that are Horsepower junkies as well. I look forward to buying each and every one of you a beer at an event next year. I know you have a choice as to where to buy your parts, thank you for choosing the parts that don't shine on the road....thank you for choosing us!
See you somewhere down the road.
