We go back even farther
The individual links above showcase many of the products we offer a sell. For those that may have forgotten or just did not know Here is my background.
I raced SCCA for most of my younger racing career 1982-90
I raced Super V, American Indycar Series and Indy Lights before a small stint in CART which is now the Verizon Indy Car Series.
My family has raced and owned Indy Cars since the late 30's and has several wins at the Indy 500 - the most popular being Mario Andretti in a Ford in 1969.
In 1986 we wanted to show our family that we could do it on our own so at the end in the '86 season and from 1987 to 1993 we owned and operated our own Indy Car team separate from our famous fathers.
I purchased Paxton Supercharger in late 1987 and as an engineer designed the Now Famous Novi-2000 Gear Driven Superchargers
1988 - We founded the development of what became the Pro-M Mass Airflow Sensor under the watchful eye of then Bob Atwood. His health issues forced the company to nearly crumble by the mid 90's and production came to a halt by 1997.
We also launched a complete line of Granatelli Signature Series Suspension Components and created the first Fox Body Tubular K-member, A-arm and Coil-over conversion kits - (now so popular and offered by so many) - We have over 23,000 systems sold over the last 24 years. As you will see by the many links above, we have designed and created so many 1 of a kind innovative products for Mustangs over the last 25 years.
1989 - Paxton Superchargers and Kevin Wilson of then Super Ford Magazine create the Pro 5.0 shoot out. 24 years later its still going in the form of NMRA / PSCA and the likes
1995 - We started Paxton Products Fuel Systems - "Granatelli Signature Series Fuel Systems" - I sold that company in 1998 to what you all know as Aeromotive
In 1998 I sold Paxton Superchargers and focused all my time on reviving Pro-M which then became Pro-Flow Technologies and Granatelli Mass Airflow Sensors. We then opened Pro-M West having manufacturing in both Oxnard California and Detroit Michigan.
2001 - DiabloSport a then small chip tuning company approached Granatelli Motor Sports about taking then to the next level. We created the Predator and within 3 years took sales for 300,000 in chips to 12 million in hand held flash tuners.
That's the short story. This is not meant to be a "look at me story" but rather a short history lesson and walk down memory lane to express our commitment to Ford Products and their fans world wide

Sometimes its so hard to figure out what someones thinking. lol Points to Ed for not sugarcoating his opinion, I like someone that will say their opinion to your face and not behind your back, that takes some integrity.

Just do a Google search for "Granatelli junk" or "Granatelli copy" and you'll see what I'm on about ... people buy products from them because they're looking for the best deal, then they have to buy something else to replace it later, net result more money spent than if they did it right the first time.
