Default dh-racing?

Anyone heard of these guys before or used their products? I remember looking at them in the past. I was thinking of getting a FPR off them. Fully adjustable for only $50!!! haha

Once I ordered some cams from him. Took a long time to get them - and many calls. When they arrived they looked pretty beatup. He said that the cams in his racecar had gone bad and he needed to use the ones he'd promised me, in order to race. Sent them afterwards - looked like they'd had a rough life.

I never bring a post back from the dead, but I have to chime in on this one. Dave Hickman is one of the biggest thieves in the industry. He still owes a friend of mine $2,000 and a D16A6 core. Stay away, far far away! Not sure if his lackey Josh Truex is still working with him, but he was involved as well.

I'm not defending Dave or encouraging anyone to do business with him, even people who know and like him personally would tell you he's a very poor businessman, but his throttle bodies are still better than Skunk's. Sorry, that's what happens when you have your product line made in china, even if the design is good half of it blows due to QC.
