One thing that is certain based on every single private equity group bulk purchase of performance brands. When IOP, (Industrial Opportunity Partners), is done managing all their holdings, the individual companies ie: Edelbrock, Lunati, Comp and all the others will be raided and gutted and worthless. That's the business model. Run the legacy name into the ground, earn big bonuses for the investors, sell off the scraps at auction. I don't think it's a "Pontiac thing". Although I do agree with Dataway in his general assessment of the Pontiac hobby. I am involved with a group of Studebaker enthusiasts and most performance parts are custom, one off pieces.

BTW, spent a little time on the Lunati web site this morning. In the last sentence under "history", they mention they are discontinuing "less popular cam grinds and components". This is corporate speak for we will sell cams and parts for SBC, SBF, BBC, LS, new HEMI. They also mention Comp manufacturers all their parts moving forward. At least they are machined in the USA. Olive Branch, MS. Whatever Lunati parts you currently have in your possession, will be your last.

About Us

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.
