Hello - I am the owner of Survival Motorsports -- Barry Rabotnick. I have been a well established performance industry insider for the past twenty years. Working with a dedicated team of performance professionals, we at Survival strive to meet your desires for performance, technical support and value. I have worked in and with several of the largest and most prominent manufacturers in the business. I managed the performance parts program for Federal-Mogul for twelve years prior to starting up Survival, and was responsible for all products sold under the Speed-Pro and Fel-Pro performance labels. During my tenure at Federal-Mogul I was involved with or responsible for numerous developments that changed the performance industry - including the now famous Hellfire piston rings, the relaunched Speed-Pro Powerforged piston line, and launching Fel-Pro's line of MLS gaskets. Prior to F-M I worked with Holley Performance products, helping to bring them into numerous new markets including fleet and marine, and representing them at innumerable races and industry events. I have a strong and documented technical background in all facets of automotive performance engines and components. Over these years I have been referenced and quoted as an industry and technical expert in virtually every conceivable automotive publication - - including Hot Rod, Car Craft, Chevy High Performance, Mustangs and Fords, Mopar, Performance Racing Industry, Jasper Engine's newsletter, and the newsletter for the Automotive Engine Rebuilder's association. I am also well known for building serious FE Ford engines. Recent engines I've assembled have been the subject of comprehensive articles in Hot Rod magazine (July 2004), and have been competitive in the Jeg's Engine Master's Challenge (October 2005) where we made over 750HP on 91 octane. Use our wealth of experience and contacts to help get you the best power for your performance dollar!
