Default I am leaving Hi-Performance, New job oppertunity.

Norcal!

I am posting this message to inform you guys I am taking on an exciting new job opportunity to move on with my career.

While a few of you have used us in the past, I will simply keep doing it on the side for a very select group of people.

My new job is very exciting, and immensely challenging. I'm working a minimum of 50 hours a week, and, basically its what I was doing prior to the Hi-Performance venue.

The company I was recently employed by engineers, processes, manufactures, tests, and ships several parts for the new Joint Strike fighter (largest customer), Boeing, Airbus, and several other customers.

Here is one of the products that was designed for use in the Boeing 737. Basically a very complicated oil pump. Over 1100 shipped with no returns for V.E.I. manufacture defect and 100% on time.:bugeyed:


It is a smaller company located in Auburn, CA. Only about 60 employed. To be honest, its nice working for some-one else again. This place has one hell of a job structure, and knowing that there will never be any downtime is nice.

Thanks for your business in the past, but quite simply, I wont have much time anymore for sidejobs. Just select customers.

I do have an excellent reference for machine work, and he is a fantastic guy to work with. He's very fast, and very good at what he does.

Call Jim @ (916) 501-0909. Goulds Pro Cylinder Heads. Remember, if you contact Jim... be sure to tell him that Kyle from Hi-Perf sent you!

Thanks,
-Kyle

Wait until you retire. There is no overtime, no weekends or holidays off. No 401k's, no health benefits, an endless honey do lists. It's really hell, so enjoy working while you can )
