The biggest question is...

..do you know what you're doing? Even if you're not doing installs, people will still want your advice. If you don't have a clue about upgrades, performance parts, etc...it will be tough to sell parts. And I'm talking about more than reading 5.0 mags. Just my two cents...

..back to drinkin' beer and surfin' the net in my garage... [Big Grin]

Youre gonna have employees right? If so hire a gear head... All you need to know is how to run a business.

Forced Fed Performance is for sale.
They already have a pretty big customer base, tons of performance parts go through there (all the buy-in's taken care of), a $50K dyno & the owner will stay on as a tuner until there's a quality replacement. The mechanics would probably also stay on.
