Cool Xtreme Horsepower out of business?

I was told this and would like to verify.

Their answering machine says that they have been on vacation for a month.

Any good or bad feedback on them?

I personally have had 0 experiance or conversations about them. But as a general rule people who work and do good work dont go out of buisness. Of course there is always an exception.

They've ripped enough people off and have done enough crappy builds. One can only hope they're out of business so they can't shaft anyone else.

A guy from the gym gave them $4k for a motor build and it's been about 3 months and still no motor and he has already PIF.
Things are not looking good.

From what everyone is saying about them in this thread it sounds like they should be out of business.

They have quite possibly the worse reputation in the country. I LOL everytime I see one of their tunes. I cant believe they lasted this long.

On another note. Im going to bust your *** wide open if you ever get that Mustang going.
Bet that ****!

LOL!!!
Is that your way of talking about my tuning now? One piston? We laughed for a week after that car burned the piston. We knew it was going to happen and it didnt make a ****. Those are the kind of things that happen when you actually race a car insted of talking about it.

My car will not be back on the ground until end of next week.
