R.I.P. There's no question about the mark he has left. The guys I know in Socal used to say everything he touched turned to gold. :)

RIP Vic .  He did a lot for the industry & on down to the street level rodder.  Amazing company was built with his guide.

80 is too young to die.  Complications from a cold?  I'd suspect pneumonia. It kills many older folks each year.

He left his mark under my hood, right next to M/T. Best wishes for the family and company in the future. 80 is a great run, we just don't get to pick the finish line.

I just thought of it but I don't think I have run any other brand of intake on any of my stuff ever . It was nice to see a manufacturer who chose to stay" made in USA ". RIP
