Yea, no. I gotcha. We were posting at the same time. It's all good. I told Matt if he ever needed an investor and wanted to grow his shop to call me. He honestly needs more space and another dyno machine. He's exploding at the seams. He needs a shop the size of Hennessey to be honest with you. haha. But, Matt seems to be a simple guy so. But, he does need more room. He's so busy, he could have 3 dynos going all at the same time. haha.

I don't know if I'm sold on the Whipple. I'd probably go ProCharger or the 2650. (And a Heads/Cam of course). The ProCharger is incredibly proven and easy on the LT4 platform. I've seen a lot of them done and guys like Vengeance are bolting them on on the daily and getting 1000+ RWHP with an F series setup. But hey, the Whipple is a solid 900-950 RWHP blower on the LT4 as we've seen. I'm not sure if there's more room in it after that point but we've seen most of them land around there if they're a full Heads/Cam/E85/Meth build like Tommy's.

You'll have to go 50/50 with me...

I've been trying to get him to move here for years. The flights in and weekend tuning til 4am used to be crazy but lots of fun.

Fingers crossed you get some stellar numbers.

He needs land. Open up a shop. Have some sort of testing track or strip. I'm not sure how he thinks for his future, but if he found people like me, I'd help him move to that level.

I also had this crazy idea to buy a huge shop and consolidate. Put LMR, Matt, and Aldo Welds all in the same shop. I'd fund it and I'd want to own a % of the company. We'd have 3 dyno's set up. Have Aldo focus on the Fab work. Matt and Steve can tune and Steven and his guys can do most of the manual labor along with some of Matt's guys. You'd have a power shop if they'd come together and work under the same umbrella. Shoot, we could also include JRods in the mix. Have all 4 of them under the same roof? Smh. We'd get mad rich. At any given time, if you could combine those guys, you'd easily have 20-40 projects going on at the same time. Dynos' would be on a 24 hr run cycle. haha.

My company is launching it's ICO here shortly once our White Paper is done. We are going to crowdfund $3 million for our initial offering. Once we go public, I'm going to look into seriously getting these guys together. but, they'll prob just laugh at the idea when in reality, it would be the best biz decision for all of them. Revenue would increase dramatically and you'd have a backer like me that will stay out of the way as long as the $ rolls in.

That would be a killer move. Whether you put all of them under one roof or just Matt. You'd lock up the whole modification market for miles and miles around, which is how you dominate. I think me and you could sit down for hours talking about this kind of stuff. It's what I've done for years. Buy everything, consolidate and lock up the market. The money will follow shortly.

I'm down. Already been thinking about it. But, we'd have to come strong cus it's hard for them to team up. they each have built something on their own and to join forces is an ego thing. They'd have to understand it's about the $. First and always. We already know their skill set. In Houston, they'd have the city on lock. They'd even chew away from Hennessey's strong hold as well. At least they'd pull some from him.

Let me get my ICO up and my initial funding in and we'll come up with something. Most of my $ is tied up in building our platform, but once I'm sourced and we go live, I'll have whatever I need to fund whatever I want to fund.

K, I'm going to close the guessing down at 6pm CST. This eliminates you clowns from calling Matt on the under to get my numbers. haha.
