Looks good, except the pictures for the supercharger kits under Products seem to be backwards - the powder coated picture is above the Polished heading and vice versa...

It looks quite good!

I am still waiting on a CARB number so I can proceed with the S/C plan.

Guys,

Thanks for the comments. And yes you are right, there are some errors on the site. Today was the first time I have looked at it and we have some corrections to make. But, we are making great progress and customers should be able to order their superchargers online within the next month. In addition, we will offer shirts, hats, coffee cups, etc. We are including a lot of pictures, statistics, comparisons, articles, Frequently Asked Questions, and other data that should help people out in the future.

Please keep watching and tell us if you see things that need to be addressed.

Thanks!!!

Jerry

You'll see...:D

Guys,

Thanks again for the comments. We have made the change on the pricing page of the website and are working on several other areas. And yes, we do not have all of the customer comments, videos, pictures, etc. done yet. I had hoped that website would have been reviewed in a test site first, but it didn't, so here we go!

All of the Burn Out videos will be available soon along with pictures from all the events, customer picture contributions, etc.

We also need to get the right pictures with the web pages, that's my job, but I am leaving for Florida tomorrow morning and will see anyone coming to the Fun Ford Weekend in Orlando or the NMRA Season Opener in Bradington. the next couple of weekends.

So, please keep the suggestions coming. We appreciate it. And be patient with us while we get our new website in order.

Sincerely,

Jerry

Hey wait a minute!!!! I just noticed that there's four burnout videos on the new website, and mine isn't one of them!!!! NOT FAIR!!! NOT FAIR!!!!

well, my guess is that Jerry doesn't have the amount of bandwidth space on the website to support that massive 87mb file size of my video like Mike's "MotorcityMarauders" website does. :( oh well.......Hey Billy-when you click on the "video" link, check out burnout video #5. That's me! Filmed by Carfixer in Fort Myers. No "chemicals" were used during my burnouts. Cobra25 [Trilogy 64] was also present during filming. A total of three burnouts were done. That is just one of them...:burnout:

Cobra25 [Trilogy 64] was also present during filming. A total of three burnouts were done. That is just one of them...:burnout: I was their, and what a bunch of burn out's he did. No chemicals ,no water no nothing but burning tires! The best part was we all had to run like crazy, some one called the Fire Department & Police.

It seemd like I was looking at Florida, so I guess that my hunch about that was correct. What did you have the revs at while the car was standing still in that vid? My guess is about 4,500 RPM. Did you glance at the tach at all during the burnout?

I kinda figured the "heavy hitters" would be "bouncing off the rev limiter", so I went for a different approach. I kept the rpms between 4000-4500 during the burnout. When I let off the brake pedal, I punched it and the tach went over 6000 rpms, and the car sounded awesome! I was hoping you'd like it...:burnout:

Thanks for the compliment, Rick!:)

Thanks for the compliment, Rick!:)I liked te part when you punched it as you were coming out of it. :D I've learned that it also depends on what gear you get it into during the burnout. First gear just doesn't get the wheels spinning fast enough for some serious smoke. Second gear is okay, but when you're on the go pedal long enough to get it into third gear (with the O/D off ofcourse) then it really get's that smoke to billow out of the wheel wells. but it also burns up your tires real good too.

Why are you letting the CARB number hold you back?

BillyGman

Why are you letting the CARB number hold you back? I was wondering the same thing, because I've heard that getting a CARB# is very costly for a company. So I'm not so sure that this will ever happen. So why wait?

I've got good new and bad news.
The good news is that the site now has BillyGMan's burnout video available.
The bad news is that it is in 4 parts with one of the burnouts edited out.

Oh well, it was a massive file size, and I know that many people had a tough time offering it on the internet because of the file size. Mike was the only one who was able to offer it in it's entirety on his website for a good length of time.

If anyone wants me to burn and send them a DVD of the entire 4+ minute clip, then they can write to me.

Were we the only participants of the contest?

( BillyGman, tallboy, MI2QWK4U, MARAUDER S/C #5)

I would think with around 50 something kits sold at the time of the contest there would have been more entrants. :dunno: I thought that there would be more contestants too. So if there were, then i'm curious about that as well.

It may have been a season timing thing. Mine is put away for the winter. Others may not have wanted to buy new tires. :D

Rick, I don't think there are many people who would sacrifice a set of rear tires [or two sets, in Billy's case] strictly for the entertainment of others. The only other place I've gone through $200 so quickly was a casino!:burnout:

Especially of you get it on video!!!

Site looks much better now.... Congrats...

Make sure you get someone to proof read the site. There are a number of words out of place. Almost like spell check proposed something and it wasnt the correct word....

Can I ask a pricing question here since Jerry will most likely be reading this????

The standard finish kit is 6 grand, the polished kit is 7 grand. But it looks like the only thing different in the polished kit picture is the 'elbow' on top of the eaton. Was that the only picture available at the time or is that the only polished part for 1 grand? I assume it was just the only pic available at the time.

Thanks for the info...

The polished kit includes these items:

These items bought seperately would cost $1420.00
