I guess you guys deserve an update.
I can't say yet what the outcome will be, but I was on a business trip last week. I met with the President, engineering manager and marine sales manager of a supercharging company, and with the publisher and editor of a performance boat magazine. I was treated professionally by all concerned and all discussions were positive. There is no question about the performance and the setup is manufacturable.
The only questions are how much will it cost to tool up to produce the parts, how much will the parts sell for and how many can be sold. These are questions that a manufacturer must face every time they consider bringing a new kit to the market. The ball is now in their court and I await their answer.
I really hope to see product available for this summer, but we have to wait and see what happens. Thanks for asking Greg.
Kurt - Have you announced your big news?

Hey Turbojack - After my business was done I flew on down to Houston to visit my brother. It was a very short visit, but next time I will stay longer and look you up. We took his boat to the Top Water Grille in San Leon. Great food, nothing but fishing boats. As far as magazine articles, my lips are sealed...

Hey folks, keep your eyes peeled for the May isssue of Family and Performance Boating magazine!
There is a four page article, written by yours truly, about our trip to Nickerson Performance, and all the fun we had testing tomcat`s low restriction intercooler/carb box on Paul`s Procharged 454 Magum
The results were truly mind boggling!
Tom, thanks for providing the opportunity to be included in the fun. It sure was a cool way to spend a few days in the dead of winter and I wish you the best of luck in brining your invention to market.
