My thoughts exactly. Here's a guy trying to help others, and make a few pennies to cover his bets. It took a lot of work, and time away from family to put a ProCharger kit together, not to mention the continued investment in time in closing a sale, delivering product, as well as post sale tech support. Add it up, it gets taxing, and earning a few bucks doesn't make it worth much in the end. On top of that, unwarranted antagonism, and not directly from a competitor, but a small group of closed-minded folks who think there is only one way to do things. In case your new here, here's an example of how they do it.TooManyFords said:
Ya see how that works? That's how it's done. Here's one man sorting out his thoughts and asking advice (by virtue of posting) about whether he should continue business as a vendor here, or throw in the towel. Most of us offer comfort and advice, but not all of us. He debates this with us because he's tired of the "BS" and what does he earn, but more "BS"bigslim said:
I have no idea what control arms have to do with Greg's dilema, other than to say it was a successful program. 50 sets made, 48 sold (we kept two sets for future use), and no complaints from anyone regarding durability, function, longevity, and so on, at least as of today. One set for sale in the classifieds. Pretty damn good program IMHO, but it's turned against me as a sign of some kind of failure, bad deal, or, bad idea. Last time it was mentioned, it was called a "fiasco", and I'd like to ask for more detail on this, but not in this thread.
With regard to my original statement, I meant to compliment the Trilogy staff. If they have sold 100 kits in amidsts this constant bickering, perhaps they could have sold more in it's absence. I believe this is a truthful statement, and though I have no proof, it's something to consider.
Greg, sorry for this distraction, but you know how this works too. Please make the right decision and hang with us, I'm sure there will be more business for you, and soon.

Ok, a small soda it is.
opcorn: What movie are you watching at the Metroplex. :rasta: I am viewing Godzilla v.s the Superchargers. It a pretty good B rated movie with plenty of poor acting, but great technical effects.

Boy, sometimes I feel like Rodney King here -- "Why can't we all just get along?"
I have one sort of supercharger. I love it.
Other people have other sorts of superchargers. They love them.
People without superchargers who hope to buy them are always exploring the field to see which one has more bang for the hard-earned buck. When they have enough information, they pick one or the other.
I think that there are both merits and demerits for every single kind of car modification out there, and everyone knows that factoid.
I believe one thing we MM.Net members need to stop feeding is the impression that there is one thing better than another. That's being very judgmental and, frankly (IMHO) arrogant. This isn't about 'right-vs.-wrong' or 'bad-vs. good.' It's just 'one thing vs. another thing.'
I would like to see the MM.Net members demonstrate that there is enough space in the world for all superchargers to exist equally, and that they are all essentially a different version of the same solution. This goes for all suspension, or air filter, or oil makers as well.
My challenge: can we, collectively, rise above the fracas and make this a healthier discussion? Can we stick to the facts and subtract the judgments?
This should be a discussion about "if you buy supercharger 'A' you get <i>xxx</i> and lose <i>yyy</i>; if you buy supercharger 'B' you get <i>yyy</i> but lose <i>zzz</i>.'
That kind of discussion would give readers information they can use. Opinions about 'good' vs. 'better' without data doesn't help me make an informed decision.
That's my request.

Mark - very good post and I agree whole-heartedly. When passion becomes obsession, insanity breaks out. We all need to respect one another and the choices we each make. Frankly, I'm embarrassed to read some of the posts on this Board and it doesn't have to be that way. Do your research, get out to meet people and drive a car. Remember, if you push someone too far to draw them in, don't be surprised if they do a 180.
