Just heard that Mike Tymensky of Modular Performance died in a boating accident. I have no details but apparently his wife was also seriously injured in the accident. Mike and his father John were among the best performance innovators with Ford's mod motor development program. They built my engine and I had the pleasure of meeting Mike and his family when I picked up my engine. Certainly a class act and great people. Wishing the best to the family.

Very sorry to hear this I have talked to Mike many times about building an engine for my car. While our converations consisted of phone calls and emails you could tell he was a very nice person my thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

The news said high speed and alcohol involved. The boat was not pretty. You could see the impact was hard!

I can't believe it! It's a sad day indeed; the reason I went with my motor combo because of his article on the BOSS50 stroker. May he rest in piece and my condolences to the family.
