Comp performance group has been on the leading edge of performance for some time. In my opinion Edelbrock needed the purchase to keep them afloat. Most racers or performance people think of Edelbrock lastly when building their cars, but will use COMP or TCI convertors as a go to for their projects first. I personally don't feel their will be any smoldering carcasses in the transition, think of Colt industries they own everything from carbs, gaskets, shifters etc. All good stuff but no one thinks about the business end of things.
