...to good 'ol Joisey - I visited my parents in Flagstaff AZ for the holidays. No internet access - talk about Buick withdrawals. ou: Theres a lot of stuff here to catch up on There have been 880 threads and 4729 posts :eek2: Sorry to anyone who sent emails/PMs Ill catch up as quickly as possible and respond. While in AZ, I hooked up with my buddy Mike Gilreath (GSMAG) in the Phoenix area, and I want to thank him for the hospitality he and his family showed me. :TU: I also wanted to visit TA Performance, which is about a 10-15 minute drive from his house. We just showed up at the door. Mike and Dave are first class. :beer: They gave us a tour of their facility. Let me tell you, theres nothing like looking at pallets full of aluminum Stage1 and Stage2 heads WOW. They sure are pretty! We BSs with Mike for about 45 minutes before we had to leave. Then, of all things, Mike gave us a TA Performance T-Shirt. I would like to thank him and his company for the hospitality and generosity he showed us. Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, safe, and prosperous new year!

I need to glom on here... Marco, it was great to see you. I enjoyed hangin' out. The baby is much better, BTW. Mike and Dave at TA were very good hosts. Dave got busy with business (he had to take orders) and Mike came to talk with us. While were were there, we saw some of the first sets of Stage 1 heads ready for shipment. We saw one head going through final machining, heads striaght from the foundry ( not yet machined)and a whole freakin' pallet of Stage 2 heads. It was awesome! I've already worn the T-shirt twice. It was a neat operation to see and my thanks go out to Dave and Mike for taking so much time just to chat with us. Glad you made it back safely!
T/A Performance Wow, would love to see T/A's shop some day, but I can say this, Iv'e known Mike T for a few years now, and have bought a few items over the years, then they built a motor for me that has been so DARN good it has'nt needed many parts because of the quality that Mike and his Company put into it, the eng is a 494 stroker motor, and is still running very strong after almost 6 years without a teardown!! (that say's alot to me) Glad you guy's had fun over the holidays, T/A is Top Notch! Bruce
