REFLECTOR:Performance Prop contact info

[Scott Derrick]

Alex,

You should read the stories about Performance Prop's failing on pushers 
before plunking down $3000.  My story was published in the CA newsletter 
a year ago.  There are quite a few more.

The Performance Prop is aptly named, it does perform very well.  But I 
question its durability in a pusher configuration, ESPECIALLY if you 
have a rearward exhaust system.
