They are shut down for good...I talked to my dad on Wed about getting a cam I wanted from them as he gets their products factory direct (he has a 40 yr old business building high performance race engines, mostly Chevy, Mopar, and Ford stuff, but no GenIII/IV stuff, and he's got a CNC program that's just getting off the ground), anyway, he said that their doors officially closed on Monday, phones are disconnected, etc. Not sure what happened to their inventory, I'm assuming that they had a fire sale and dumped it off to their vendors, but I don't know for sure. There's still the possibility that they will be bought again though, there was an organization or two that was showing interest, but nothing has transpired yet.
