Recently, someone sold their FIT Supercharger. This peaked an interest in me. This is the first one I have seen for sale used. How many have ended up selling their s/c setup (any type)? Can't be too many.
So, this tells me, that everyone who has s/c'd is happy w/ the purchase???
Just my ramblings.....

John sold his because he is doing some kick-azz upgrades. I am very happy with the forced induction, although even after five days I still have not gone WOT. Soon... :)

There have been a few S/C cars on eBay. I guess those owners *could* be considered "not happy" anymore. As for me, I make sure I do not drive the Marauder all the time. That way when I get in for a drive, it's like seeing an ole friend you still have fun with.
Most my miles are "fun miles". Either to NY to see family and friends or around here to cruise with the Mustang club and CAM.

You're right Kill, it's not something we have seen a lot of. Usually, most folks do so much research, even if they were not happy I doubt they would say anything about it.

Amen, Brother...... I hate research.

Say it aint so. Personally, I can not imagine not being happy with this car. Especially with the 3.0 pulley.

I would imagine anyone with a S/C Marauder is grinning ear to ear unless they have a lot of problems with it. I'm in love with my Marauder all over again :high5:

I am still very happy with the FIT ProCharger even though it is sold. I've got another 7 days to enjoy the hell out of it before I pull it off and ship it to its new home.
Superchargers are like [fill in the blank]. once you Black, you never go back!
And as an update, my NEW SC is shipping!

Other than the one mentioned, the only used supercharger for a Marauder has come attached to a Marauder! :coolman:

Everything I have done to this car has been an improvement. I drove one stock when they first arrived on the local dealer lot. I was not impressed enough to pay the premium over a CV LX Sport which I did buy.($5K diff. at that time). However 2 years later I drove my Marauder with a DR SCT9100 Tune, UD's and 4.10 gears and immediately traded. Well, within 3 hours. One, establishing the dealers best trade difference and 2 shopping every listed Marauder in Florida on the phone. Took the best deal back to the local dealer and gave him the chance to match it...he did. I wrote a check and drove it home. He sold my CV the next day. I saved 7K off his original price and he got a car with greater mass market appeal. Win-Win. The car has become more mine and more unique about every month. I liked the car, made changes and now I love the car. If I was unable to do any more mods it would be ok. But, I don't plan to stop anytime soon. You guys keep coming up with great ideas. Oh, about the Supercharger- My research- I looked at the 3 installs, listened to them run on the track. Talked with the owners. Read all the old posts here. Asked Carfixer for a ride and talked with the other mad scientist from the So. Florida Swamp Supercharger Lab (Tallboy) about Installs. Went home and put the for sale sign on my other toy car. Sold it, bought an everyday driver and called the Magical Donna. Best move I ever made. If my car should buy the farm I will buy another and do the same thing all over again. Did I mention I love this car? Thanks for listening. Dennis
PS: Anyone who doesn't like their Trilogized Marauder, Call me. :D

Tom Doan also sold his (or maybe Dennis still has it for sale) when he pulled his Marauder engine and went with the Cobra engine.

Unless you know the person selling it, I would be a little hesitant about purchasing a used blower, whether Roots or hairdryer. These are precision devices and if mistreated have the ability to cause significant damage to your motor and/or wallet, although for the right price the above comments would become irrelevent...
Having said that, I love my Trilogy... :D

I would LOVE a Trilogy, but $$$ isn't exactly available right now. I love how is looks bone stock under the hood.... like it just BELONGS there.
Maybe Trilogy will have a "Blown" Sale and offer a healthy percentage off sometime soon???
Can't hurt to hope :D

I regret the s/c mod, not because of the finished product because it does make the MM scream. But for the fact that i can go faster cheaper in something else. I would consider selling mine but i would take too big of a loss so it stays.

:confused: You probably could go faster in something cheaper but I dont know of any other cars that have the presence that a Marauder has on the road.

Dont care about the presence that the mm has, since i dont care what people think about what i drive. I want to go fast, dont care about the looks since someone will either steal it or dent it anyways.

Dennis still has my set up for sale. 10,000 miles on it, only run to 5000 rpm, run with Amsoil.

That Amsoil really kept the inside of your old engine clean. I had to swap one valve cover when I installed the engine because mine was notched to clear my blower pulley and I was amazed at how clean it was. It missed a little bit when I first cranked it up but smoothed out just fine after it warmed up. Thanks!

What's not to love. My engine went from about 320 horsepower to about 500 horsepower. The car looks sooooo cool especially with the intercooler in the front and the big Nittos in the rear. I could not imagine removing my SuperCharger and selling it. This car is a keeper!
