Ditto what Tom said.
F&B have more knowledge about our trucks & the TBI system in general, and
have always been willing to share it to the fullest extent. And yeah (last I
heard) the T-Body business is a part-time gig for them, something that 2
DML'ers thought would be neat to work on & benefit the list members at the
same time. That was probably 2-years ago, when our only other options for a
T-body was to butcher our own, or give Jules the title to our trucks in
exchange for one of his magic T-bodies.
Since that time, a lot of others have jumped on the bandwagon... thats good
for us, the more interest, the more sources & more innovation & discovery.
Go with whomever you're happy dealing with, but 'unprofessional' and F&B do
not belong in the same sentence together. I've had my TB from F&B for a
while now (actually one of their first to go out), so I'd be perfectly happy
if they brought their expertise back to the list and raised the level of
discussion back to the performance/technical realm.
Ditto the $3.18 worth, too!

I dunno, Kyle. This may be the first time you and I disagree but I get the
distinct impression that F&B do this strictly as a part-time thing while
pulling some serious hours at their regular jobs. Tony on the other hand
seems
to be able to spend a lot more time and can therefore focus a bit better on
this kind of stuff. Don't read me wrong!, I'm not dissing either, I'm just
saying one is more or less "in the biz" and one is not. False promises not
withstanding, I think a couple of guys doing this in their spare time with
no
apparent profit motive deserve a bit of credit. Aside from that, some of
the
technical data (and experience) Frank has put forth has real value and has
built a lot of credibility in my mind...
Just my $3.18 worth.
Tom

This is why I didnt go with them when I wanted TB. They simply made tons of
promises they couldnt keep and were very unprofessional, in my opinion.
Email Tony at QuickD Performance and he will hook you up with a good
quality TB.
