Billy,
It is still under development and testing but due soon, I think. Trilogy had to redesign some parts and get them produced. Trilogy One, the development mule and new Worlds Record Holder (10.3) at SSHS7 with the Twin Screw is different under the hood. That has creating clearence problems with our cars with the cowl and wiper assembly in place, as I understand it. It will be worth the wait. I will post a review and install pics when it is done.

yeah, I think that's why he's garage-saling all his stuff, wants to go for one of the big guns.

First guy on the block with 3 S/C'd MMs.

I'd ask about this in Wes' Innovative Interceptor Forum.... or call Wes, or send Wes a check for a deposit on a kit. $3k should be a good start as a deposit.
Then you'll be in line for sure to get one of the first ones.

So will the future TRILOGY kits come packaged with this twin screw setup. I plan on buying my trilogy in either march or april should i wait for this to be PERFECTED before i make a 6k to 7k purchase? What does this twin screw setup do? Will it make that big of a difference???

The twin screw will allow you ventilate your stock block faster then the eaton. If you plan on going the route of higher sustained boost you may want to look at the TC. At 10:1 compression you might lift the heads and snap a rod, or some other stuff. You really need to look at your long term plans. You can get a ton of boost from the Eaton. I think the TC upgrade will cost you couple of thousand more then the standard configuration.

A person that might know, informed me the MM shortblock is over-rated for supercharger use, and is best replaced with a forged-internals shortblock (when supercharging).

Exactly. Wes is the Trilogy dealer here

Why not wait until they hit the market. You never know what else may come along.

I am not one to pre-buy, but lots of people do.

I am looking forward to hotrauders report when he gets the first one.:D

"over-rated" is an opinon. We have members with over 140K that are s/c.

I went s/c at 42K w/ 96 races. The engine lasted until 95K with a total of 184 races. Had I not incorrectly diagnosed a CEL as an oxygen sensor when in fact it was a fuel pump. I think she would have lasted another 40 races and 20K.

What we do know is there are a number of S/C Marauder with ~450RWHP that hold up very well.

Frankly for a variety of reasons forged engines have probably had a higher failure rate.
