Well, /o/tists, Yesterday, we lost one of the big guns of the aftermarket industry.
Vic Edelbrock Jr. died last night from respiratory complications.
Just thought the rest of you should know. I'm gonna go peruse the company catalog again and have a memorial beer for one of the guys who helped to make engine modification as easy as it is today.

The irony is not lost on me. But dude DID serve as president of SEMA in the early 70's, and also talked to legislators to help keep the aftermarket industry alive and legal, if it helps to understand the impact here.

And this guy kept his manufacturing inconus. Made in USA

A great company, though they focused mainly on USA cars they were willing to delve into the turbo civic territory, and did a great job making a kit.
RIP sweet prince.

The Performer and Victor X kits were pretty solid, by all accounts. Performer was particularly good for N/A builds. Lot of dirt track hondas ran those.
