They didn’t invent the Bonneville Salt Flats, but they set more records there than anyone else. They didn’t invent turbine-powered engines but they successfully adapted them to the then modern day Indy style open wheel racecar and dominated every race for 2 years.
They didn’t invent the modular Ford engine, but their innovation produced the world’s fastest modular Ford engine. And, their innovation doesn’t stop here!

They helped to establish the standard set forth by C.A.R.B. to gain approval for aftermarket forced induction systems, camshafts, exhaust systems, cylinder heads and mass airflow sensors.
