Jesse has successfully modified EVERY car i have ever owned, (jaguar, lexus, audi, mercedes, lincoln, etc) he has figured out how to modify many of my cars that other shops said were 'impossible.'
and his business is a family-owned shop that has a stellar reputation in the community. it is a smalltown shop, where people don't just throw in the towel in a pissing contest either! 
this is a shop where families in this town would throw down FOR this shop! this is the same shop that does all the repairs for the local police, fire department and just about every trucking biz out here, not to mention their reputation at the track! and tom's TDI jetta that was the highest horsepower jetta in the world, and featured in magazines.
our relationship started from Stealerships and other speed-shops trying to overcharge me for labor and parts.
jesse would find the parts himself and do the work himself at a LEGITIMATE rate saving me thousands of dollars. THEY DO THIS KIND OF STUFF EVERY DAY, AND THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE SURVIVED THE TEST OF TIME, AND PEOPLE CONTINUE TO STAY LOYAL TO THEM. IDC is 'LOYAL.' and 'loyalty' can give people an 'edge.'
you will find, that jesse will almost NEVER say "it can't be done," because he has always found a way. he has HEAVILY modded ALL of my cars over the last decade, and none of them have ever had failed results! how many vendors can you say that about? it's not a guarantee, but a stellar track-record.
jesse has installed high stall torque converters, valve-bodies, nitrous kits, turbo-kits, fabbed full custom exhausts, headers etc. for many of my cars. He even fabbed racing seats into my jaguar by himself, when the vendors i bought the seats from said it was impossible! i even have business associates who bring their porsches, vipers, audi's, and ferrari's all the way out to port byron for jesse's skills from chicago and des moines iowa!!!! they see the work he does on my cars and drool!!!
'Cars' are my hobby, and i have NEVER sourced anyone else for work but IDC. 10years of work by them, and still not a single SNAFU/problem. obviously, the world isn't perfect, and stuff happens, but my results have been superior.... my 2 cents.
btw, jesse does not need a crossfire... does LET? IPT? VRP? plus, he has mine. and i trust his work implicitly. c'mon guys, it's torque converters, not rocket science. jesse has been working on cars since before puberty! he sees a great market potential with this platform and is tired of seeing how horrible the prices are on most of this stuff. he's doing us a favor. i don't blame him for being defensive.
See now that's a great introduction. The E55 guys are the ones getting charged 3x over. That's a great platform to expand as well. Similiar mods just V8 style.
