   Jay Robarge is the owner of Broader Performance and is well known as a Ford transmission guru.  He just posted this video the other day:

He says in this video a customer contacted him having issues with the valve body. The customer tells him he bought it from Summit.  Jay told the customer he doesn't sell his parts to Summit, and discovers 
Speedmaster has blatantly counterfeit his valve body design and Summit was selling it! The crazy part is the Chinese counterfeit actually says Broader performance right on the valve body just like the genuine part!

I knew Speedmaster was lower end Chinese made parts, but to rip off a design from a small business is just downright wrong.  Not only did they counterfeit the part, they made it poorly and slapped his name on it, ruining his reputation while stealing his business.  I have bought parts from Jay, including a new custom torque converter I just ordered, and he is a great guy.  He makes top quality parts .  I paid more money and waited a longer time to get parts from Jay, but I am happy to support a small business and a guy with some real knowledge and talent.  Those of us with niche cars, like Torinos, need to support guys like Jay that build parts for our cars.

I will never buy Speedmaster parts after seeing this. Please take the time to watch the video and spread this around your social media.  Companies like this should be shamed.  Summit has since made the part unavailable on their site, but the are still selling many other Speedmaster parts.  Buyer beware.
