Cunningham returns to competition in Commerce with a new Marketing Partner
Crofton MD, April 24, 2008 - Jim Cunningham and his lone wolf Ford Pro Stock team are returning to competition in Commerce Georgia this weekend with a new engine combination and Manufacturing Partner.
“The guys in the shop have been working 14-16 hour days, 7 days a week since October and we have made some real gains with our engine program,” said Cunningham. We have finished two engines and are working on three more, these engines represent a large increase in horsepower and RPM capability and we are looking forward to the race this weekend in Commerce because it will give us a real good idea of where we are in relation to our competition.” Cunningham added. “We are dedicated to producing a race winning combination for our Mustang.”
“We have added CNC Software Inc., of Tolland, CT. and their signature program Mastercam on as a Major Manufacturing Partner, and we are really excited about the expanded capabilities this partnership will produce as we move forward with our engine program.”
CNC Software and Mastercam CAD/CAM software have been instrumental in our recent gains with our engine program,” said Jim Cunningham. “When we started our in-house engine program our first priority was to establish an engine shop that was capable of generating a competitive Pro Stock engine. We realized that we needed to get ahead of the curve when it came to machining capabilities. One of our first purchases was a 5-axis CNC machine, one of the reasons we chose the machine we purchased was the inclusion of Mastercam CAD/CAM software. Mastercam allows us to machine our cylinder heads from raw castings to a finished product right in our shop. In addition, it allows us to design and produce parts and fixtures that would take weeks to procure and cost quite a bit of money. The investment that we have in Mastercam programming has paid for itself in the first year of operation.” Cunningham adds, “With Mastercam we can take a concept and then design, produce a toolpath, and machine the part in as little as a day, depending on the complexity. This has proven to be one of our best decisions and we are absolutely ecstatic that Mastercam has decided to expand their relationship with us.”
