Hi Lance.

I bought my Pond block and stage 2 heads from Keith back in 2005. Over the last ten years, I've watched other builders do a better job with quality and especially responsiveness to their customers. Presence on sites such as this has been critical to the growth of some of the newer builders... Keith used to have a major presence on this board, and in my opinion, that was critical to his success with this crowd back in the day. In my humble opinion, as KCR'S volume increased, the quality decreased and his customer responsiveness suffered. I'm glad to see you making an effort to re-engage with the Cobra crowd, as there is business to be had and competition is a good thing. I for one love reading about the latest flow numbers on the latest greatest CNC heads... that kind of stuff makes me want to spend money. And that's the point, isn't it?
If you want my opinion, maintain a presence on this board and other FE specific forums and most of all, do quality work. Back in the day, my block had issues...KCR paid for shipping for me to send it back and made it right. I think this sort of customer first attitude fell by the wayside over the last 10 years.
You can get it back. Back in the day, Keith had epic arguments with real engine guys... It showed that he was interested and engaged. That's key. Occasionally, there's still an interesting engine thread amid all the nonsense "is it real" garbage.

Glad to see you back in the game.
