I too had placed an order but my money was refunded. I sincerely hope others have their money refunded also. What was so bad that they went out of business? What is so special about their cam lobes? Will their stuff be sold off? Any other news?

Some are reporting that the state has seized property over there and there are cops at the location.

I passed by Thunder Racing a couple hours ago. There was a black RAM 1500 along side the shop, but no other signs of life.

All ended in a **** storm.

Am I missing any?
Exotic Performance Plus, I never got ripped off by them, had a few issues with the quality of some of their work. Bob was always helpful and their tuner was good.

What's the deal with speed shops being run shittily? It seems to be an epidemic. It seems like there is always "drama" when it comes to speed shops.

Never found Angie to be forthright but Shane has always been a standup guy to me.

Don't forget Absolute Speed though he tried hard to make things right with his customers. What is it about this business that some of the great innovators have no sense to running a company.

It's one if those things when a shop is behind financially and they keep selling products/projects and use that money to finish the ones they are behind on. Or pay people off (refunds). For every 10 shops only 2-3 are profitable, they rest are living paycheck to paycheck just like any other small business or person.

Even with ky turbo, he kept selling new work to finish old work and dug himself into a huge hole.. Then he crawled into a hole somewhere to escape..

Owning a business is not for the weak, you have a lot on the line.
