Default More Performance in NC

What happened with More Performance? It appears that they went out of business. Does anyone know the scoop? I posted this on the southern region board, but I haven't gotten any responses yet.

Thanks,

Steve

They did some good work, but they did more shitty work. Didn't stand behind it, so they are gone.

Is that the same company that made the valve spring compressor tool?

Yup...they made one of the more expensive ones. Most people are using the "Larry" tool that costs about $35 rather than $150 from More Performance.

The severe over pricing and lack of quality work drove them down the tube. A friend of mine had his Z in there for a full blown drag car conversion. Solid roller 427 with DP, 12 point cage, drag bars and so on. Needless to say, that was over 2 years ago and I have yet to see the car again. Last I heard, they blew the motor on the second pass, N/A.
