401 Buick HOP-UP parts???

[tragic59]

Who makes hop-up parts for the 401? Anyone? Looking for standard shit. Just intake, headers, cam, etc. etc.

Recommend any dealers? Not having luck with Summit/Jegs.

Got some info concerning them not to long ago.
"I just drove my car with the prototypes almost 1000 miles for more R&D as well as drag strip testing on mine & my friends car. Things are looking very promising as far as a performance increase." (Tom)
I'v ealso heard that T/A is now workign with him to produce them. I hope it's true as the last group he tried to work with tried to take off with his work.
