I can't even imagine how that must be. I bought my #24 back when there wasn't any waiting period at all, and so I received my kit on the same week that I ordered it. BTW, what kit # will yours be?

The build up of anticipation makes it all the sweeter the first time you fire her up and take it for a spin. :banana:

Well, at least you started singing my favorite song......:D . We took a lot of orders in the past few weeks, so we will get them out as soon as we can guys.......wait, wait, wait.....sigh. And everyone is right....it will be well worth the wait. If anyone knows about waiting, it is Darryl. And he will tell you, it was well worth it. OH, and he did take me for a ride in his car last week, as promised. Very impressive:banana2:

You got a Husky? I'm liking your company more all the time... ours loves everyone too, provided they're on 2 legs... anything on 4 legs tends to get caught in her teeth.

Hey Folks,

We are working very hard to get the kits packed for shipment next week. Thanks for being patient. The demand for superchargers has been pretty brisk lately. A lot more then we had expected. I started preparing kits numbered through #90 and guess what! We have sold up to #87 and the others may be spoken for already by new customers. WOW! I guess #100 isn't as far off as I anticipated. We could easily be at #100 by June.

Lidio has been doing a great job of rebuilding Trilogy #1. It should be ready by late next week. Lidio discovered some interesting facts about the engine failure. It may not have been what we thought caused the problem. Lidio is posting some information later tonight. Stay tuned! I can't wait to get the car back to the track!

Lidio is also working on the calibration for the F150. You won't believe it! Only running 4.5 lbs. of boost and already smokin the tires!!!! Wait until we get it to 8 lbs. The truck is running great and Lidio has, as usual, done a great job!!!

I just got off the phone with Mike Z. and offered some suggestions for the Sunday Raffle Drawing to spread the wealth. He is talking to Dave P. right now and we will let you know what we have decided by tomorrow.

We may have a prototype supercharged Mustang running by June, so stay tuned for that one! This should be a rock crusher!

Just made my hotel reservations for the ChiTown Dream Cruise. Going to help Jerry Robbin, President of the IMOA, with the set up and pitch in for the weekend. Can't wait to get back to Chicago and visit all our friends there. What a great town!!! I don't think I am bringing a Marauder, think I am bringing the 39 Ford Street Rod. Slammed, Shaved, Blown, Chopped. Did I ever mention I love anything with wheels?

Anyway, there a lot of exciting things happening! Talk to you later!

Jerry

:D And we know you will love it after you get it installed. :burnout: Enjoy and please let us know that you got it.

I have to agree with Jerry....in the past few weeks, we have taken a lot of request for the kits. And we thank everyone who has placed their orders and being so understanding about the shipping of your kits.

Jerry, I saw the thread by Lidio this morning and responded to it, I no longer can find it.:dunno:

Smokie,

You are correct. I pulled the plug on that thread because after talking to my engineers, Lidio, and others, we are not sure that Lidio's post could have been the sole cause. So, I talked to Lidio and we decided that there may be other factors involved that were not part of the post and we needed some additional data from the PCM to clarify some of our theories. So, rather then cause more questions we will wait until some further analysis is done. Suffice to say, the Bosch pump is the best on the market and if the knock sensors are functioning, it should have degraded the performance rather then cause a catastophic failure. So the jury is still out. The car had been abused every single mile of its life and it could have been a piston or rod failure also, which was our initial assumption given it was running 14 lbs of boost, race fuel, early tests with nitrous, etc.

Thanks

Jerry

I saw the block at Lidio's the other day, needless to say that aluminum blocks to not fair well to inadvertent parts seperation. Not even heavy enough to make a good boat anchor out of, darn!
