Our
business philosophy is simple: Provide safe, dependable,
high-quality performance products, as well as outstanding customer

what we can to ensure each customer's satisfaction and believe
this is evident in our products, pricing, and support
before, during, and after a sale. We're not looking to

have enough left over to help those less fortunate.
If you're considering purchasing one of our products, we

Blessings, Bill and Corey Cohron |
But remember the Lord your God, for it is
He who gives you the ability to produce wealth. -
Deuteronomy 8:18a
No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate
the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the
one and despise the other. You cannot serve both
God and Money. - Matthew 16:26 |

Power Hungry
Performance is a Christian company that is owned and run by the husband and wife team of Bill
and Corey Cohron. They and their two youngest sons relocated to
beautiful Winder, Georgia in June 2007. Shortly thereafter, they
formed Power Hungry Performance. They were pleased to find former
customers and old friends on the forums.
Bill, a calibration and software engineer, has a history in the
automotive performance industry that spans more than 20 years.
Along with Steve Cole, he was one of the first 7.3L PSD
calibration engineers and created many of the files still in use
today! He has worked for Superchips in Orlando, FL and was
recruited by Edge Products in Ogden, UT in late 2003 to be their
"Ford Guy." Along with an outstanding team of engineers, Bill is
responsible for much of the development of Edge's Evolution
Programmer -- from initial concept and design to firmware and
calibrations.
Over the past 12 years, Bill has custom tuned thousands of
vehicles ranging from mild street racers to wild, twin turbo
monsters! He has worked with many of the top names in
performance such as Steeda, Paxton, Vortech, Magnusson, and Panoz.
In 2008, Bill was even asked to tune a truck for Fast and
Furious! He has always been happy to share his knowledge and
experience with others in the industry and has trained several
other popular tuners.
Corey, a certified teacher with an art degree as well, joined Bill
full-time after creating the Power Hungry Performance logo and
product designs for the Gryphon Programmer and Pegasus Update
Client in late 2007. She now handles the PHP website,
Advertising, Sales, Account Receivable and Payable, and Customer Service;
she really enjoys making
new friends -- and keeping up with old ones! -- on the forums.
In addition to running PHP, Bill and Corey also have the privilege
of homeschooling their sons. Liam, a precocious 10-year
old sixth
grader, loves learning just about anything (especially science!)
and has an affinity for languages; Wil, an 12-year old 8th grader,
is an absolute clone of his dad and excels at math and computers.
He's very into trucks and tuning and will most certainly be the
next generation of Power Hungry Performance! (Many
of you may have already met Wil at Drag, Dyno, and
Diesel events!)
In April 2010, Cody, a Montana native, joined Bill and
Corey. They were first introduced when he purchased their Minotaur Automotive Tuning
Software in early 2009. A few months later
(after reading many of his posts on various diesel
forums), they asked him to become a moderator on the PHP
Forum, and they've been great friends ever since!
Cody is an ASE certified automobile technician with a
decade of General Motors dealership experience under his
belt, and he has been custom tuning 7.3L PSDs for several years. Cody has taken on many responsibilities
related to the 7.3L PSD including answering e-mails, troubleshooting customer problems, and
programming chips. In addition, with his extensive
knowledge, Cody easily learned the ins and outs of
gasoline tuning and does most of the tuning for the
Gryphon, CS, and CTS. He is an irreplaceable part of
the PHP team.
Angela first started working with PHP by photographing
dyno and drag racing events. She now works in the
office helping with phones, orders, and general office
tasks. Many of you know her on the PHP forum as "acidanthris."
Growing up in Oklahoma and Kansas, and having learned to
drive on an Econoline box van, she’s had a lifelong love
of big, powerful trucks. As a bonus, her husband works
for Ford Motor Co. and provides her with opportunities
to drive various trucks often. She’s also a mother of
three and loves being outdoors in the woods whenever
possible.
PHP purchased a Mustang Dynamometer in May 2010, and it
was delivered to their new shop in July. Over the
next few months, every spare minute was devoted to getting
things ready for their first Dyno Day and Open House,
which was held on October 23. Bill and Corey still
work from their home office during scheduled phone hours,
but Bill can often be found at the shop dyno tuning
customers' vehicles or testing calibrations after hours
and on the weekends. With the addition of the shop,
PHP also offers performance modification installations and
repairs.
Though most of the action happens in the office or in the
shop, there is another part of PHP that is equally as
important! In November 2008, the PHP Forum went live, and
Bill and Corey asked JackandJanet (Jack), who was one of Power Hungry's
first customers, to be a moderator. The forum grew
quickly, and 88racing and cleatus12r (Cody) were
asked to join the team in April 2009. When the forum
grew to more than 1,500 members, it became necessary to
add a few more moderators, and Jeremy (Jeremy), and Colby
(Longshot270) signed on in early
2010. Dave (907DAVE) joined our happy group in March
2011. The forum has become a huge part of PHP; however, without the knowledge,
intelligence, and dedication of our incredible
moderators, Power Hungry Performance would not be the
same.
Jack is now retired from teaching computer programming and
microprocessor design at the University of Arizona. Before
that, he spent 20 years in the Air Force as a pilot with a
combat tour in Vietnam. He's had a PHP Gryphon on his
truck for the past two years but has recently upgraded to
a PHP tuned CTS to take advantage of the backup camera
option. He considers PHP tunes to be the best
investment he's made on his truck and enjoys helping
others in having the "tuned experience," too.
88racing is a senior moderator on the PHP forum. He is
also a big fan and customer of PHP. He currently drives a
2006 F150 5.4L 3V Lariat Super Crew using the latest
addition of PHP's line up of programmers, the Gryphon CTS
with custom tunes. Other things he likes are his family,
hunting, Harleys, NASCAR, and modding his F150. He is a
novice tuner on his motorcycle and compiles all of his own
tunes for it. He has over 25+ years of wrenching on
vehicles, from lawn mowers to diesel trucks. His all-time
favorite motor builds are 383 strokers with 340's being a
close second.
Currently, 88racing is a pipe fitter and works part time
at a used car dealership doing anything that requires a
wrench.
Colby is a senior moderator and college student majoring in Aquatic Biology
with a lifelong interest in electronic devices and
performance products for trucks. He drives a 2008 F-150
and recently did a major write-up of the Gryphon's datalogging function which will be included in the
2004-2008 Gryphon manual. His ability to come forward with
a lot of often-overlooked troubleshooting tips makes him
an huge asset to our moderating team.
Jeremy is a Mechanical Engineer working for one of the
nation's largest heavy civil construction companies. He's
a Montana Native, currently living in Utah for work. He
likes all things diesel big and small and enjoys wrenching
on them in his spare time. He started his friendship with
Bill in 2002 when he purchased a power chip for an
International truck with a T444E 7.3L. Now he has Gryphons
on his 6.0's and 7.3's as well as PHP's FICM tuning. He
has a loving wife who supports his diesel habits -- most
of the time -- and two little boys that will no doubt
follow in their dad's foot steps someday with a need for
diesel power.
Dave is a self-proclaimed military brat and has lived in
many places before settling in Alaska. He
has always enjoyed tinkering with things and trying to
modify them in some way.....usually making them faster
or more powerful.
After graduating high school, he attended
Universal Technical Institute (UTI) and completed their
Automotive, Diesel and Industrial courses; he then
attended a Ford Factory training program and finished at
the top of his class.
Dave returned to Alaska and has been working for
an independent shop since. Though his job title is
Auto/Diesel tech, his real passion is diesels.
After being unsatisfied with other tuning company, he
purchased PHP's Minotaur Software and has been tuning
his own truck since 2009.
Most of Dave's free time is spent working on and
racing his Legends racecar. He has been racing for
the past 4 years and has done very well -- he has been
the Alaska State champion 3 times, and local track
champion once! In the future, he plans to get into
Sprint car racing but is not quite done with the Legends
yet.
