    Thursday I showed up at IMLOR at 10am and Nick (ILMORDUDE) jumped right into the engine compartment and changed everything on the engine that could possibly be the problem with our fuel pressure problem....along with Ian and Scott right there to help....and anyone that has seen my engine compartment knows there is no room to even sneeze in there and Nick was in there for hours....and the problem ended up being from my fuel tank...
    The tour of there facilities was incredible..I knew it would be clean and high tech....but not like I seen....what a operation....and the number of employees and departments that ILMOR is made of....
    I could not ask for anymore from this company in the way they have treated me as a customer..the service has exceeded in what I would ever think a engine manufacture would provide me with.....
    even on Saturday Ian was in my engine compartment getting his hands dirty....
    Even after we knew it was not the engine..Ian still stayed we me and continued to help with bringing me fuel lines and fittings to help fixed the problem...
    There guys look like they should be in High School...but they have the knowledge and experiance like they have been doing this for 20 years....except for Ian of course...He is like there daddy....but there personalities mesh together to make them who there are today...

    Great support guys....and hats off....you cannot ask for anything more from these guys....and to also step in to help on the sponsoring of the Harrison race at the last minute.

    I look forward to furture project with ILMOR and a realationship that not only in just the marine industy...but in any manufacure product a customer wants......

    Great to hear. Still haven't heard anyone say anything bad about this company yet, and that's saying a lot in the marine business.

    And I actually finally got to meet Ilmor Dude and Gino.

    And I agree, everyone who deals with them, nothing but good things to say.
    Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!

    It was great to meet you and your wife....see you again this weekend....

    And Ilmor Dude looks like a senior in H/S.....but he know's his engines..pretty impressive guy...along with the others...
    Normally you don't see guys this young with the professionlism, knowledge and how they carry themselves....it says alot about the company and how they are bringing them up...

    Geez - They let IAN drive the pace boat?????

    Manitie - Get Paul Ray or Ian to send you the new "ILMOR" logo like they have on their boat; it's slick.

    I agree with your assessment of Ilmor.

    The guys on the Pantara Pace boat said Ian gave then a scare in a turn....I think Ian was just trying to be the first to the pin.....

    I'll have to get that there new logo in St Clair..
