One more thing for Huml to be arrogant about, wonderful. What forums is Huml allowed to sponsor these days?

I'd be currious to know how he treats his employees which bring him the money. 5mil/year he better be taking care of them very well.

Re: Slowboy Racing Makes The Inc. 500 !!!

Alot of it probably gets dumped into his rally team. From the way it sounded before, they were making quite a bit of money on first (and only) time buyers. From the way it sounds there's not much customer service to make the little guy want to continue to buy from them. I'm sure they treat their engine buyers much better than the guy that buys a FMIC and BOV. But I can't prove it.

Re: Slowboy Racing Makes The Inc. 500 !!!

I bought from SBR on four separate and fairly spread apart occasions, each order for less than $150 (OEM metal hg, ARP's, a turbo gasket, and a set of valves) and I got each one within 8 days of order, one as fast as 4 days. From my experience they've had great shipping, packing, and customer service. Has anyone else actually had a bad experience or is it all just hearsay? Aside from one of my friends, everyone else I know has had a good experience with them too.

Damn I'm too lazy to go through the whole list, but it'd be really funny if SSAutoChrome was ahead of him on that list.

Me too. I heard too much bad shit about them. I think Jet had some problems with them when we lived together so I knew better then to get things from them.

You're kidding, right? Slowboy is so bad that DSMTuners booted Slowboy from sponsoring the Toonerz forums.

Look at the Slowboy racing thread in the intro section, it reads like a freakin novel, i think we left it at around 50 or so pages, not sure.
