I went to Tampa Florida this weekend, I got a chance to go meet Ken, he gave me a short tour and talked to me for an hour or so. I was very impressed by his operation. Even though I only spent $35.00 at his shop he treated me very well. Thanks Ken, nice to meet you.

Ditto the above, Ken, Danee' and the crew are the best. Ken recently built a very nice 455 for me and I really appreciated the time he took with me and my son to spec out the engine and make sure it was what we really needed. Always has time for the most amatuer of questions, supports local club shows and hosts club meetings. What a good boy scout !! And Danee'-I'd call the shop just to hear her voice.

What Ray said. Besides, Ray and I both concur with Martin, you are a great guy. And hey, I don't have anything to smack talk about before Norwalk this year, so I had to do something.

Please gentlemen...ignore the man behind the curtin....he had a very bad day at the track yesterday....besides the fact that it was at least 300 degrees in the shade
 ...we just paid all the salaries of the workers at the Gates Belt Mfg. Plant.Starter to me pointing to the 2nd belt on the ground..."Does he need that? Me..."Nah! He's got five more in the trailer!" And that was just one of the many PMS issues the car had yesterday...which is really unusual for Ken's car as it usually runs like a clock.  But I guess ya gotta expect this when you're working on a new combo! We'll just keep pluggin' away!

Nearly all the credit goes to his wife though. She's the one who keeps him balanced and happy.  Can't wait to see y'all at Norwalk!!!

Yeah, the "Dude" is great to deal with, and does quite the job on head porting. Besides that, you won't find anyone more pleasant to talk to than Danee' when you call down to order stuff. (or just for advice). The whole family is a class act.
Psssst., Ken..........do I get a dicount now?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
