You know, it's funny Frank.

Here I sit reading emails from you and all you have to do is make snide/rude
remarks about Jules' Throttle Bodies. Now the funny thing is that he
(Jules) actually doesn't say anything bad about YOUR TB's and also refers
customers over to you. (Hmmmm...wonder who has better business practices.)
Also, a while ago you had mentioned that you were going to be doing TB's for
Mopar Performance...what ever happened to that?!?

Talk is cheap...who's been doing them longer...well, why don't YOU answer
that question.

Dealers who had recommended Magnum Performance:
Stevens Creek Dodge - Viper Racing Club
Kohler Dodge - Phone in to service department
Heart of Texas Dodge - Parts Counter

Speed Shop:
Austin Performance
Speed Merchant (In San Jose, CA)

DML'ers:
(Sorry...some things are kept confidential...but they were from the R/T
List)

He does have a patent on his "modifications"...just remember that. (And
when three dealers, two speed shops, and several un-named DML'ers refer me
to him...that counts for quite a bit.)

Tony does have a great product and i'm still debating whether to buy on eof
his as well for comparison...we'll see.
