You figures are actually about correct, but that holds true for any speed part. For ever 1000 people, maybe 100 "like" car's. Out of those 100, about 30 are actually interested in modifying their vehicle at all. Out of those thirty, maybe 10 are hardcore enough (in my opinion) to consider heads, cams, transmissions, etc, things harder to put on than halos or K&N FIPK's. OUt of those ten, about 4 will do it eventually, when something fails and if they have the budget. And 1 will be truly hardcore and throw every dime they have at it to acheive whatever goal they've set for themselves. That math holds true regardless of make/model. Most car's, Camaro, Mustang, Civic, w/e are stock, and most of the modified ones, never make it past the bolt on stage.Now then, why are modular part's and Mustang trans part's so expensive? I think it's because of the perception that they SHOULD be expensive, and that no one wants them. It keeps people out, and when they get in, they charge more. I know I like to hook everyone up, and give a good fair price, and do good honest work. I want your car to be fast just like you, I get into other peoples car's lol. I'm as excited about Jeff (Dalamar)s car as he is, and I've never even met him. Same with Chris, Javi, or Rick, but, I do need to make money somewhere lol, so when thing's are expensive, I have to pass it along.But no, I don't expect to make a living out of 4r70 converters and transmissions, and I dont really care enough about anything outside of 700r4's and their variants to branch out elsewhere and advertise and be on a million forums all day. So I stick to what I know and love, and make a little extra pocket money, keep my skills sharp, and hook some fellow stangers out along the way.</blockquote>
