Default Chris@Diamond is now Chris@AP-Engineering

Hey guy's just wanted to let you know that I have left Diamond Pistons to go full time with my own shop, AP-Engineering. I can and am still willing to help you guy's with all of your piston needs and anything else that you may need. My shop is a full service shop specializing in late model GM's. We can do just about anything you guy's need. Also we will be putting together a lot of short blocks and will be able to ship short blocks in 3 weeks from time of order as long as parts are available from vendors. Engines will be what we focus on since that is my main back ground. If you guy's have any questions please feel free to contact me, I am more than willing to help.

Thanks,

P.S.
Pro Stock John, give me a call at the shop. I will just paypal you the money for sponsorship. Thanks!

P.S.S.
On Monday look for some info and very competitive pricing on our cnc ported cylinder heads. I think you will like what we have to offer. PM me if you need any info before then.

JELLY! It's true! Congratulations... Guess the shop wars have officially concluded, in your favor. I'll be trippin' out there in the spring. I already knew Brian was there.

I wish your new endeavor the best.

As soon as Jelly can take Dan Millen then I think what you said would be true. Either way, it sounds like APE is going to post a big turn around this year. Congratualtions Chris!

Thanks guy's, I appreciate the support. I don't have anything for Dan and his car so I guess I will play second fiddle on that one.

Rob, you got it. I will call you Monday. I need to talk to you about your turbo kits. I see a single turbo car in the shop's future.

Thanks,

Didn't you have an F2 procharger on order too? (This is the forced induction section...).

Geoff, I do have the F2 already but, I don't think that is enuff to put me anywhere near the 7's! At least not on the LS1 that I am building. I will be posting some pic's of the project here shortly.

Noyzee, Yep I think I remember selling you the pistons. Do you have them in the engine now? If you need anything just let me know.

Right Geoff.

Course, the boyz at Livernois put that together long before "The other shop" went out of business.

Anyway, I'd say that's not far off in the future.

Just want to add here for those who have not dealt with Chris, he is a top notch individual when it comes to both knowledge and equally importantly in his service. Though Diamond will surely miss him, this will not effect us consumers when it comes to piston needs, cause , hell, he is still at our disposal! Congrats Chris.

Oh, ya guys, jam master j is right. I can still handle all of your Diamond Pistons tech. Also our piston prices will be as good as anyone else out there. Give me a shout if you need anything.

Thanks

Hey Chris
Kirk or Rich havent returned my emails or calls to finish tying up the loose ends on my car asap(tuning the motor and blower, installing the right fuel pump, fixing oil and coolant leaks which created a huge mess on the undercarriage and my garage floor, and repositioning my exhaust that is crooked) Maybe you can pass the word along. I was scheduled for autorama at cobo but need the car tied up. If you want you can email me at beatrice212121@aol.com, and you guys have my number.

Thanks
Andy

PS Chris is a great guy to work with, he will bring alot to APE.
