Don't know about that guy's operation. His pricing seems too cheap to be all that good. Not that I really object to somebody getting a deal - but I know what the parts actually cost. The only variables left are machining and labor - - how cheaply can you get good work done? How cheap are you willing to go to do your best quality work - whether you're a doctor, lawyer, executive, mechanic, or ?

I intentionally never undercut other vendors that throw down on pricing. We price our parts and services as fairly and honestly as possible. Like innumerable other small businesses we will price match if needed (example - I sell more Scat product than anybody in the Great Lakes region other than Summit, and do have the ability to "bomb" pricing on numerous lines - but absolutely refuse to do it) - underpricing the market will only hurt our niche segment - chasing a hustler will take my business out just as quickly as it will his.

When you are looking for a supplier you should find somebody that can deliver proof of their ability to deliver a good product. There are numerous places for a vendor who cares to display their wares. George has proven their skills in the Cobra community. Keith has proven his talents in the Drag Racing world. I choose to use the Engine Masters Challenge. Seems like the subject of this thread has chosen the keyboard...
