If you’re going to make a big announcement in the world of race and performance parts, the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Show is the place to do it.\u00a0 Paul Lee, President of Wharton Automotive group which includes McLeod Racing, FTI Performance, and Silver Sport Transmissions, is no stranger to such announcements at the race industries annual gathering, having utilized it in the past to kick off his return to racing. This announcement carries similar weight: Lee and his partners are eliminating the middle man with the launch of FTI Performance Parts, a performance torque converter and automatic transmission parts warehouse which will be based in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Citing the obvious need for quicker access to quality parts, Lee brought FTI leader Greg Samuel, founder of FTI Converters, and Ken Kelly Jr. who will be managing the day to day of the warehouse, together to greet the press and unveil just a few of the products that will be available.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m over-the-top excited about this new venture.\u201d says Paul Lee. \u201cWe, as a company, have been wanting to enter this automotive aftermarket space for a long time. Like our competitors, we\u2019ve had a lot of trouble in the last few years getting parts on time for our torque converter and transmission business. So, we decided that with the right team, we can provide all of us in this market with quality parts, excellent customer service, and the right prices. Having Greg and Ken Jr on our team gives me all the confidence in the world that we will deliver to our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cCustomer service is what we have to offer,\u201d says Greg Samuel. \u201cThere are a lot of quality parts manufacturers out there, but no one will provide the level of service that we will provide. Being in this industry my entire working career has taught me that customer service is everything. We create relationships.\u201d\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/div>\n

The stated goal is to ship every order by 3 p.m. of the day it comes in, including complete billet torque converter kits, billet stator assemblies, bolt together and lock up kits,\u00a0 billet transbrake valve bodies, billet drums, billet shafts, complete aftermarket pump assemblies, SFI approved cases and bell housings and more.<\/div>\n

\u201cI want ordering your parts to be the easiest part of your work day,\u201d says Ken Kelly Jr. \u201cYou have plenty of stress without having to worry about getting the correct components in a timely manner when ordered. Every order is a priority to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/div>\n
