Default MORE PEFORMANCE, out of business???

I've been looking for MORE PERFORMANCE's web site and it is gone! www.moreperformanceinc.com
I've been trying to call all the numbers and the lines have been disconnected!

Does anyone know anything?

I wonder who the backer was? If I remember correctly, he had alot of NASCAR stuff rolling through there. I wonder if it was something with a team?

I am glad they are going out of business. They have been nothing but complete ******** everytime I have dealt with them plus there prices were twice as much as everyone else offer head and cam packages.

That was just my experiences.....

Is this a shop with a dyno, or a person who does it on the side?

Thanks,
Jeff

That's where the dyno originally came from.

I had both good and bad experiences with More. Mike built one hell of a motor that is in my car but I think the thing that ultimatley did them in as far as the shop goes was the personel and what went on in the shop. Everytime I stoped by to check on the progress of my car no one was ever doing anything so when customers like me wanted their cars back everything had to be rushed and many times things weren't done right or where overlooked.

Though my last dealing with them wasn't good I have no hard feelings. I still wish the best of luck to all of them.
