Craig Paisley started working on Japanese performance cars in the 1980s during the early days of import racing and "tuner" culture. He opened his own business selling parts for modified Japanese cars and became very successful, eventually becoming the largest distributor in his region for brands like HKS. His current shop, World Motorsports, now specializes in modifying late model Porsche 911 Turbos, mainly building high horsepower packages for drag racing and half mile events. Their packages usually aim for 800-1000 horsepower through modifications like exhaust systems, upgraded turbos, engine tuning, meth injection systems, and built engines.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
