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:
 
If it really has no reward other than the money..

then there is no point in continuing something...
Life is just to short...:D
 
Just use the "ignore list" feature. If there are just one or two guys that rub you the wrong way here then ignorance may be the bliss you're looking for.

Its not like anything you could say would change their opinions anyway. :rolleyes:

You shouldn't let them get under your skin like that. You have a really nice kit & it runs nicely with alot of power. Their are a small # of members who are just plain thick headed , they should try to be a little more open minded. Most of the members of this site just want the answer's on how the Super Chargers differ from each other. Go have a cold one :beer: and enjoy the weekend.

Dont give up doing what you love, do what makes you happy and screw everyone else. You have manned up and brought something to the table for the MM community which is more than most have done on this board. So I thank you.:bows:
 
Greg, don't give up. I praise you for coming forward with the idea and the guts to get something like this going. You have sold some kits so far, which is pretty good in my book, especially when it comes to how many in how long a time. Plus you have other offers and options that can help persuade others to buy from you. Have you thought of expanding this kit to work on CVs and GMs? It shouldn't take too much to do either.

Hang in there, man.
 
Greg,.. I wouln't blame you if you quit. I would be a shame though, it's nice to have a 3rd option.

I rarely even read any S/C threads anymore. It's always the same bull$h!t,.. then it turns into a p!$$!ng contest and gets locked. No thanks. :bs:

I hope you decide to continue, it would be a great loss to our club if we wind up with only one choice for everything or maybe even no choices at all.

When I made a choice in regards to S/C'ing, my final decision was made on visual appearance, the OEM look if you will. Doing business with Jerry Barnes and Lidio was a pleasure. I am very happy with my choice and how I been treated by Jerry whom I consider a friend.

I would like to point out to those that have not been around here since mid '02 that when there was nothing to buy for our cars, Dennis Rienhart took an interest and provided products and services when there was nothing else for our cars.

I also want to point out that Todd (TAF) opened the way to our club to Team Ford in Marieta,GA. Grand Mufflers and Aric and Scot; a gifted tuner and a super wrench. Todd has introduced many innovations to our cars that many today enjoy but are unaware of the source.

Sarge and Zack have also been innovators and trailblazers and have done much to improve the quality and the choices to our Marauder experience, again a lot of what we enjoy today and take for granted today originated with these two gentleman.

I hope that you have a good peaceful weekend and make the decision to continue to make available a product that has made your customers happy and has made the Marauder experience broader and more exciting.

Thank you, Javier.
 
Yeah....don't give up...just don't get involved.

The other two vendors don't get involved in these silly discussions. They just allow their cronies to do so.

PM interested customers on the side, and leave the open forum to THEM. ;)
 
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.
 
Hey, you should stay, cause at the very least... this is starting to seem like it's the Trilogy Fansite rather than a Marauder site.

I've heard this more than a couple of times now. Maybe the efforts of the "usual suspects" are having unintended consequences to the hearts and minds of potential customers. Buying into a family indeed.

Anyway, there are forums here for every choice and that is good.
 
Personally, I dont think Greg should throw in the towel. He appears to make a good product at a good price. Compitition is good for everyone, but... dont take it out on someone or villianize someone for posting facts and their personal opinion when asked by another member. Greg has taken his shots at certain companies and individuals (myself), just as much as myself or others. This all started because someone asked about which setup he should consider and why, specifically what major considerations to weigh in. If people want to buy Gregs Procharger Kit, I wont treat them any different than the next guy. You need to get past the opinions of others, do your homework, decide which application is best for you, period. You cant let someone's opinion sway you, whether its my opinion about what works for me, or Mac's rambling about Trilogy Marketing strategies. It doesnt have to be a war over superchargers. Too many thin skinned people get mad when someone says something that challanges the choice they made. Get over it people, and don't get your panties in a bunch. It makes me sick and nauseous to have a person ask your personal opinion, then be criticized by those with other opinions. Voice your opinion, and be done with it. 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 expect another centrifugal would be simular, but cant speak to it since I havent experienced it. Thats an opinion, just like anyone else on the forum, like it or hate it...its my opinion. It isnt BS to me, its how I feel. There are other Trilogy owners that I dont see eye to eye with, but again, they are entitled to their opinion as well.
So Greg, I will say it again, keep on doing what you are doing and your following will grow. Its obvious that there is a demand and a desire for your product, and it would be a shame to let them down. I think when you and I disagreed in the past, we got past it and moved on. In fact I worked with Greg to promote his kit in the vendor raffle for MVIII.

You better stop even thinking about that, or I am going to put my 250 lb A$$ on a plane and give you a serious reason to change your mind to retract that statement. You would be providing a dis-service to all the Marauder guys out there. And it is fun. Those few that mouth off have never driven a Procharged Marauder, so what do they know. And I cannot believe that you would let anyone get to you like that who are blind and ignorant to the truth and real facts.

Amen Dave. It is all personal choice and personal opinions. Period.
