It sounds like you are talking about Jules' shop. He usually lurks
on the Dakota list and will surface occasionally to offer short
teasers like "Tested an 11-second Ram with MPI throttle
body last night" but then never offers details.

His shop is said to be sooo busy that there are trucks sitting
outside waiting for new TBIs.

About a year ago (before I dropped off the Dak list), there were
some folks who were very happy with the products they
received from Jules. I don't know if they are still on the list
or not. You may want to post another message...

Jules is not the only game in town. Check around before
sending your hard-earned money to any speed shop via
the mail.

p.s. I wish Kukooter and Sean Meldrum were still on the list.
They'd have something to add on this topic. I don't feel
comfortable speaking for them (putting words in their mouth).
