APS are an Australian company, always have been. They did have a US employee when developing these kits though. His previous history, should have no bearing on APS's reputation though for producing quality goods.

All they did was employ him.

Im not bad mouthing aps. The guy from incon made great kits, but he was a bad buisnessman and screwed over alot of people. Seeing as aps is selling the kits he designed im sure it will be a great kit with great customer service.

I will only correct you in saying that he, whose name shall not be spoken, (and no it's not the guy whose name starts with a V from the movies ) was the Australian owner/manager of the company that took the money for a number of kits and ran the business into the ground.

It's up to the potential buyers to deside if his employment is an issue for them or not.

The only concern I'd have would be; did he spec the scavenge pumps for the APS kits that he has worked on? Do any of the original TT kit guys still run both of the original pumps from their kits?

This thread is a) old news, b) stupid.

Dave Inall was affiliated with Incon (which basically stole money from several ls1.com members). Dave Inall is still an engineer, now with APS. Whether or not he is a piece of **** bears no weight on the effectiveness of the kit. I think everyone will agree that the Incon kit is probably the best kit ever designed for the F-body (excl. weak scavenge pumps and small turbos).

Now, APS has been around for a while, everyone has seen their kits, and people are buying them. I'm glad you like them, but this post is unnecessary. You know the name of the company, search for them on this site, ls2gto.com, or corvetteforum. Done.
