OK, here's a question:

A while back, October I think, I was on the phone with,..let's just call him a manager at Detroit Deisel. What he said was TCT has simpley been approved for use as one of the suppliers to their engines. There are actually a bunch of suppliers and TCT is just one. I understand that TCT's product is a cut above, but I only suppose this as I have no frame of reference for charge air coolers, etc.
TCT seems to be growing at a steady, moderately quickly pace.

Since Detroit Deisel is basically the assembler/marketer of these engines, I'm honestly not sure if they care about certain details of their engine -- here's a great analogy: IBM puts an AMD chip in their computers instead of an Intel, what the diff as long as it works nearly as fast ...and if IBM says it's good enough -- then hell it's good enough for me too.

So 2 questions:
1 IS TCT really a cut-above and what are some of the obstacles for gaining WIDE acceptance (just like Wescast industries did with their aluminum manifolds to the Big3 Auto manufacturers)??
2. Profits = 0.20 eps for this year?

Thanks -- and anyone can join in. Anybody from TCT itself care to answer (under an alias, perhaps)?
