I wonder if anyone has bothered to ask this:

Has anyone with a supercharger ever not liked it? Felt like they didn't get their moneys worth?

I think your kit is making awesome power. :bows:

Your customers are very satisfied!

I am just waiting for someone to post a new best 60' time, Zack has held it for way too long!

As far as centrifugals go there are a lot at the track kicking but every weekend. Some are even taking Roots off and bolting centrifugals on but I have never seen centrifugals being taken off and replaced by a Roots, have you?

Don't let the fact that there are aholes every where influence your decision.

I say FIT stays!

Most racers are prone to experiment ,with what they think works best.

Thanks to all who blazed a path for me!

Dave, I've heard in mustang forums some Cobra owners removing OEM blower and going with Centrifugals. Buying a blower for a Marauder and then removing it for another type of blower is something I have never heard of....kinda expensive, gotta have money to burn...:lol:
 
I think it would do for everyone that doesn't like the ProCharger system to just stay out of the FIT Vendor Forum. We won't mind a bit and promise not to "disrupt" the non-centrifugal forums in return.

Cheers

"My opinion is that I have driven both Trilogy Marauders and Vortech Marauders, and my opinion is that the vortech cant hold a candle to a properly set up Trilogy car."

I was responding to your slam, in a vendors forum!

I have owned both Roots and Centrifugal. I like both.

Cobra owners are pulling Roots and putting on Centrifugals.

I don't think this thread should continue in a Vendor's forum. Please take this elsewhere.

John,
I wrote Greg a nice note of support to keep going, and I get broadsided by someone skewering what I said and thats ok... Whatever. I will go back to spending all my free time, missing time with my family to plan Marauderville III so my fellow boardmates can have a good time and slam me to my face at Woodward.

This is the most intelligent post on here, I totally agree.

maraudernkc is talking about quiting because of pissing contests like these and you guys still keep doing it. Drop the s/c wars and encourage him to keep selling kits. Their is not alot of vendors making parts for these cars and if you guys keep it up there will be less.

Greg, keep up the good work and don't take personnally some of those interested posts. You developed a good kit and don't let people think otherwise.

Having 3 choices of superchargers for a car that isn't even built anymore is a gift by itself and must be kept going. That what's keep the breed alive.

I wish the so-called competition wouldn't be as fierce and people could get along even after having made different choices....

I too have owned both, and I can appreciate the merits of each. They make power in different ways and, depending on the application, can be the right choice.

As far as the Cobra owners...well very few are putting on centrifugals actually. The popular choice is replacing the eaton m112 roots with the lysholm based Whipple.

I sincerely hope Greg continues. Choice is key. The only time I enter these threads is when someone pipes up and says that all kits are "the same" and produce equavilent results. This is simply not true. The power production betwen kits is night and day. That doesn't mean one is better than the other...it just means that the way power is produced is different. Now, depending on how you set the car up, and what you want from it, either blower can be the better fit. I think a lot of discussion over which blower is the better fit for a particular application gets misinterpreted as "war." That's a shame. Some spirited debate about the power production of the various kits is good 411.

Carry on Greg.

Dave,

I missed your last deleted post but I took everything else before that in this thread as being civil. I think a lot of what is read and responded to is taken within a context that has been formed over a long time. Such is life.

I do appreciate all your efforts to get MVIII squared away and hope to enjoy my time there as much as I did last year at Indy. There were a lot of KB's, Trilogy's and DR's superchargered Marauders as well as modified n/a and bone stock cars there and I didn't see any one at any one else's throat over who's gizmo was better.

This time there will be a Procharger in the mix, big deal. I got spanked by a KB at IRP last year when I was still n/a and loved it. I'll get spanked again this year and it will still be all good. My main goal is to blend in with the awesome scenery again and to see old friends and make new ones. Once the screen name comes off everyone seems to get along fine no matter what you drive up with.

I hope to see you at MVIII and chat with you awhile about coolers and whatnot but I know you will be one busy guy. It must be a monstorous effort to pull this off. For that you have my thanks.
 
DON'T SWEAT IT GREG, KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING, WHICH IS A GREAT JOB. NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO OR THINK, YOU ARE ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE THAT AGREE AND ONES WHO DISAGREE WITH WHAT IT IS YOU ARE DOING, SO WHO GIVES A RAT'S ASS ABOUT SOME SILLY COMMENTS OR HALF ASSED OPINIONS. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT AND DON'T STOP SHARING THE FRUITS OF YOUR HARD WORK BECAUSE TRUST ME THERE ARE DEFINATELY ALOT MORE PEOPLE WHO SEEK TO BENEFIT FROM IT THAN THERE ARE WHO CRITICIZE IT. I'M SURE ALL THE KITS AVAILABLE ARE GREAT AND WORK VERY WELL AND AS FAR AS THAT GOES ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MINE AND COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT WHAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS UNDER THEIR HOOD. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT I ENJOY DRIVING MY CAR AND I'M SURE MOST PEOPLE FEEL THE SAME WAY, I MEAN COME ON WHO WOULDN'T HAVE FUN DRIVING A SUPERCHARGED MARAUDER REGUARDLESS WHO'S NAME IS ON THE BLOWER.

ANYWAYS I AM LOOKING IN TO GETTING A TORQUE CONVERTER AND HAVE SOME QUESTIONS SO EXPECT A CALL FROM ME TOMORROW.:beer:

I am so tired of all the Supercharger BS.

There might only be two vendors selling Superchargers for our Marauders and I am sure some of you might be very happy about that.

I don't make enoughf money on these kits for all this never ending supercharger crap!

I did this for the fun not the money and it's really not too much fun!

I am taking the weekend off to think about if it is worth it or not to keep selling the F.I.T./Procharger Marauder kits. :corner:

Greg, continue to do what you do. Offer these folks a choice.

Ditto to Royal ^ there.

A few closed minds do not control this board, the majority is generally silent, but watching, and have spoken out when it's been important. Royal is correct, there are a lot of cars your kit can be customized to fit. I don't think this is the case with the T-Kit, but I am sure someone will correct me. I know my Vortech uses stock off the shelf replacement parts, and I have been able to upgrade and fashion the car of my dreams. I believe the ProCharger is likewise, yes?

The essence of the American culture is diversity, and freedom of choice. Imagine what shape we would be without that. I've been close, I didn't pick a supercharger by brand, reputation, or, low end power curve, I bought a whole car. Whether it represents my preferrence in technology, or not, it's my car and I love it. I take heat from folks here who say I bought the wrong kit, and they were not members here when I made my only choice back in 2003, to buy the first supercharged Marauder in America, or, not. I'm glad I took the plunge, it's been an exciting ride. I've met and made friends with more folks than I can count, but not all of them. I think that's good, because someone who agrees with everyone, is lying to someone.

I drove my MM to the first Trilogy open house where I met many from this site for the first time. The T-kit is awesome, beautiful, and the demonstration rides scary. The cost was a tad high at the time, but still the only kit available. From that moment on, Trilogy had the opportunity to capture everyone's heart, and pocket book, and some say they have done well. I think they could have done better.

Disagreement is also a thread in fabric America, we debate, challenge, arbitrate, discover and compromise. It's the cornerstone of our democracy, the House and the Senate argue all day, because they are supposed to. In a way, supercharger wars are good. Open and spirited discussions help everyone learn about benefits and drawbacks of every design, the proof of which is in the performance. Ditto for any other "war" that breaks out, oil, wax, tires, wheels, whatever. How can you explore technology and learn, without discussing it?

Sadly, seems impossibe for us to conduct ourselves as decent men and women during discussion, and it usually sprials into childish exchanges, false accusations, and an age old strategy of argument; when you're loosing, insult, and we've seen the best at their trade. I know for a fact there is one member here who will not buy a T-Kit simply because of the conduct of a few "customers". IMHO, without this behavior, Trilogy probably could have sold 200 kits by now, even to you and me. Hang around, there's more opportunity ahead for you than you think.

Here we go again. It was not needed that you feel that Trilogy could have done better. Hell, you could have done better with your control arms but you didn't. And where do get off saying that Trilogy could have maybe sold 200 kits if it weren't for the action of a few people. Can't you just let stuff go without taking your potshots. People here are seeing "The Anti-Slim" as they call it because I am tried of your cheap shots. "NO ONE" asked you how many kits Trilogy could have sold. The truth is they have outsold everyone else. People that have the Procharger are happy. People that have Vortechs are happy. People that have Trilogys are happy. Put it to rest Mac.
