9-30-2008 – For Immediate Distribution


Effective October 1st 2008, Cadillac 472/500 industry leaders Maximum Torque Specialties (MTS) and Torque Inc are pleased to announce the merger of the two successful enterprises into one company. The business will operate under the MTS banner.

John Walker, formally of Torque Inc, will join MTS as the Director of Product Development. “I would like to thank MTS for giving me the opportunity to guide along the products that need to be introduced to this market and for allowing the positives of Torque Inc to be included. The merger should create an environment where the advances we have been able to make in the past few months continue, and if all goes as planned, are implemented sooner.”

“With the merger, two of the greatest Caddy 500 / 472 / 425 minds in the world are now under one umbrella,” says Paul Lane, Executive VP for MTS. “John’s tremendous experience and long-term background in the details of these engines gives us a huge advantage in bringing Cadillac up to the popularity of Ford and Chevy.”

Current MTS President, Marty Lane, will continue his role in the now larger endeavor. “We have several new products that John and I have been working on in the past year,” says Lane. “It became very aware to all involved that a merger of our companies would allow us to quicken the pace of the current projects while providing better parts and services to our customers.”

Walker was instrumental in MTS’ acquisition of Bulldog Performance’s Cadillac division last year, and he will now further lead the MTS branded Aluminum products into viable, easily accessible products for the Caddy community.

Mr. Lane adds, “John has already started working on several other products that we intend to release in the coming months, including the newly developed MTS Single-Plane Manifold. His recent intervention has assisted me in finishing up the Bulldog merger and we can now get the Manifolds into production.”

MTS’ corporate offices will be continue to be based in Southern California, long considered the Hot Rod capital of the world, while Torque Inc’s Ohio operations will remain intact and renamed to MTS East. R&D as well as turn-key engine construction will be the focus of the Ohio facility.
