Nos and Turbos are the chicken **** ways to get quick power on cars without having to know anything about motors. I blame them as the days of the naturally asperated motor are dying fast...freakin nipper cars, air resource boards and such are killing hot rodding...the economy is partly to blame but over regulation and such are doing the most damage...the days of the wrench are gone...just program it, juice it and put stickers on it and you'll be a new age hot rodder...
There has always been a small contingent of dips that dont know a damn thing about cars and buy the latest bolt on, happened long befer any of the current turbo craze!!
I built 2 dodge 4 bangers that were wasting 302 mustangs and I sure as hell had to know something about about cars and motors etc especially since I had to build have the parts myself since they didn't make anything for the dodge cars back when i was doing it becuase it was before the fast n furious days!

How could I have left off Holley and Hurst! Or Champion spark plugs or Mr. Gasket or Goodyear or Keystone wheels or Monroe air shocks or Accel plug wires (yellow was my favorite). Who made those traction bars we all had to have?

Put crane's in my 69 Charger. Now that's a car. Nothing like that Hemi cuda with the shaker hood scoop posted earlier...

I put both Keystone Classics and Gabriel Air shocks on that 1968 Camaro I built and get this, I ordered them both from the Sears catalog back then! LOL
My buddy had Cragar wheels and Traction Master bars on his '69 Z28 Camaro and he ordered his from JC Penney catalog....course we also bought our rifles at Penneys too back then.

Greetings,
I have a feeling Crane will come back as a subsidiary of Mr. Gasket. It seems like Mr. Gasket owns just about everything else in the high-performance aftermarket!

Man I cannot believe that. I have used Crane for all my auto, Jeep and Marine engine products and have complete confidence in their quality.
The economy is really hurting this country.
Here are a couple of bad boys we just put into service that have a custom grind by Crane.
715 HP @ 5500 RPM w/3-1/2 PSI Boost
824 HP @ 5500 RPM w/6-1/2 PSI Boost
954 HP @ 5900 RPM w/11 PSI Boost
Mefi4 computers with Whipple Stage II Superchargers
I hope we will see Crane open again soon.
