Our program is going very good, so good that I haven't the time to spend updating the websites and etc.. We suspended parts sales earlier this year because we just didn't have the time for them and needed every person on deck to assist with the engine build program.

Engines are doing well and people are happy, happy enough not to complain online as most people have come to expect these days.. No news is certainly good news.

We are being very successful, in the past year we have had ONE experience where a customer had a small issue that was fortunately not catastrophic and we took care of the engine under warranty, even though it was out of warranty by several months... Small issues can be expected and we deal with them when necessary.

We have six dedicated track cars running our engines this year, ( i cpould have had more but turned down the builds) all of those had successful seasons and none had any issues. One of them has done 1300 track miles in 2010 and the oil samples from it are looking very good.

I have been focusing on my book, our engine oil and my training classes more than anything personally here at the facility. We don't want to be building hundreds of engines per year, but rather to help others build thousands of engines per year with our knowledge.

The engine combinations are now fully developed and have standardized components. This has made things much better in many ways. We thank the Lord that more work has come our way than we want to do and that during the time when most every other business is struggling we are growing by leaps and bounds. Things are so good that we can be selective of what engines we build and who we choose to work with, which is something I have been able to do since I started my engine business 19 years ago... In the Porsche world, being able to selectively choose clients is a huge benefit.

One thing is for sure... We are pleasing people.. If we weren't you'd be hearing about it to the point that no one would have to ask the question concerning our effectiveness.

Good news= Silence....
Bad news= Loud mouths that want to tell everyone...
