You guys are comparing apples to oranges.....LOl
Shawns clients are different from Nelsons. They may over lap slightly but in most cases they are different. That doesnt make one group better then the other, they are just different markets. Most of teh time, Shawns customers probably spend less, but probably put in more of their own time, on the car, on the set up, on the knowledge to own the car. Nelson probably deals with a slightly less versed customer (most of the time) Hot rodders that are busy at their primary business what ever that may be, and the hotrod takes a back seat. They still want it and have the funds....its actually cost savings to them because they make more then saving money on the build with their own time.
Just different.

and at the end of the day, ANYONE that is pushing limits and trying new things, no matter how daft they may seem to you now, is ALLWAYS a good thing!
i just hope guys like Nelosn and Va Speed keep doing what they do for a long time! deffinately makes the world a more intresting place. Chris.

our customers are really not that much different and prices aren't that much different.Most of our customers are looking more for hardcore perfromance over looks but we do some of both.Right now we are building a motor for an NFL player and it has some cool stuff that is just for looks on it.We also have about 5 builds going on that are $28,000.00+ just for the engine without any accessories or injection-so they would easily be $40,000.00+ by the time you added a turbo setup and injection.

Wow, you guys are a bunch of idiots... Shawn, so are you making your own turbos these days because the last time I checked you used other companies turbos? And I'm pretty sure Phil nor Big Bird makes their own turbos either... ASC qualifications don't make you more suited to talk about turbos. LOL
When I want a good steak I don't ******* go to taco bell & get a steak fajita. If I want a custom turbo, housing, custom cartridge, custom wheels, I'll let the guys that do this every day do it.
