If painted wheels got you a 1.5 sec 60 foot then we'd pay thousands for painted or powder coated wheels...

I started reading his website when I had my cobalt and he had a lot of nice things for a 2.2l. Nice ideas but no proof of anything. I would probably bought some stuff from them if they made it out of paper before I traded the car.

Because of your past claims and lack of action, you have become a laughing stock of the delta community, and maybe 10% at best still have hope for your wild claims.
It would do well for your reputation if you unplugged your keyboard until you have something worthwhile and USEFUL to provide.

AAAAANNNNNNDDDDDDD, where are the real pics and videos of the car making the pulls???? Dyno graphs? 17 psi on a k04 making that power? Give me a ******* break Rudy. Even with the 200 shot you say on the sale page that would not happen. They k04 is not even big enough for the 2.0 lnf let alone 3.0 motor.

Like buying cheap products.. funny - R&D, CAD and machine work - isn't cheap, so $4999 each is cheap compared to the v6 & v8's blocks sold out there... also this engine setup wasn't meant for Cobalt community, it's geared for the ATS, GS & OPC.. has they say - you got to pay to play. buying cheap products - gets you cheap performance
yes the K04 was used as a baseline to compare what GM used on alot of platforms. using any other turbo wouldn't be a fair assessment. its like using 6262 vs. k04.. really.

no, on the third block yes, 100 wet shot gains 75HP, 175 gains 140HP, 200 gains 180HP increase - but we used two A1000 inline fuel pumps, the twin in-tank walbro FP failed from increasing the voltage to 19V each, the gerotor cracked either from over-heating or spinning way too fast. using the A1000 was the best purchase we made for tests like this.
Plain and simple you gotta get video on a dyno and on the track. Your company is not being taken seriously until you do the r&d in a real world application and then show it. This way people know it's a practical addition.
Gotta earn people's trust with a great product and then keep them with great customer service. You promise the world, a $3500 3.0 ecotec that will work, and then deliver a $8000 one with no proof. Gotta keep expectations reasonable and listen to what your customers really want.

Don't ask this guy for pics and videos, he'll get Pixar to make a cobalt video with a 3.0l ecotec in it, then try to sell you the video for the price of the "real" thing.

I ran across a website, FMSR, that looks to good to be true. It's got a great website but here are my concerns:
1). No replies to two emails asking specific questions about advertised parts.
2). No working phone. When called, you get a recording telling you to install Magic Jack and use that to call. I did and no answer and no way to leave a message.
3.) No address listed other than Easton, PA. and Google Maps can find nothing in or near Easton, PA.
4.) They have a layaway plan where you put 30-50% down and then make 3 or 4 monthly payments. They may be in the wind after you're down payment.
5.) Nothing in the Easton, BBB about them, not even a listing.
Call me paranoid but until someone has visited the shop and verified their products and services, I recommend not biting on the lure. It may leave a very nasty taste.
