I think PPC stands for Performance Proven Concepts or something of that nature. Their headers were supposed to be really good.

No longer a sponsor, not sure if they are still in business.

I was kind of lead to believe that they did go out of business or were bought out by someone else.

Were their headers and other products any good?

I was in on a pair for my LT1 through a GP on fbody.com. The owner, Gordon I believe, kept on pushing the date back on the headers so I retracted my deal. I remember some of the LS1 guys getting them and saying that the headers turned out pretty well. I don't think he was getting the business that he was hoping for. I also remember that he was selling the company test car to help support some new R&D.

That's too bad. I was looking into buying a set for my LS1.
