I do believe I used to buy BBs and Shot gun shells there. You were able to pick up a shot gun and look at it if there was a salesperson.

Here's another interesting one:
Guess who?
I have the original bracket from FAST on my car. This is the bracket that was on the red car you see in the pictures on their website and was "the" prototype bracket. The bracket was cutout with a jig saw, welded, holes oblonged so they would line up with the mounting points on the engine...... This is the bracket that held my supercharger when I dyno'd 463 rwhp and it works just fine. I think too much is being read into the integrity of the bracket and I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to use FAST's latest bracket design.
You held to your word and didn't hesitate.

Andy, again taken out of context. I'm not going searching for what else was said but I believe I was trying to squash some bashing and finger pointing that was going on. My earlier statement about them doing an injustice was the first time I have bashed anyones product on this board. I guess I should of let someone else do it, such as one of the people with my update kit.

If you think I copied their bracket design, just ask someone who has seen both brackets to give you their opinion, don't take it from me.

Of course not Tim you have too much to profit worked into your systems to risk upsetting a potential buyer and missing out on a sale. Luckily you have Z and Lag to be the "bad cops".
But seriously with friends like Z and Lag you don't need enemies.

I can't remember any of these guys bashing your kit, they just question some of your comments and try as best they can to back them up with hard facts.

Yes Andy, there is just soooo much profit in my kits I just don't know what to do with it all. Why should you even care? I didn’t set out to be the low price leader, I'll leave that up to you. There is no mystery to what people are paying for when they buy a Murf928 kit.

Tim,
I haven't bashed your kit so much. I like the design. I have always been a fan or Mark's design. I simply question the ideals of you and your cohorts.
You don't have to bash anyone's kit. Z and Lag do so much of it. Z and Lag are the bashers, that's almost all they do.

UMMMM......Where did I say you bashed my kit?
You bashed John's setup to no end and then he came through with exactly what he said it would do. You were complety wrong. This is your standard operating procedure. You finally apologized after an extended absence I'll add.

Saying you are a fan of Mark's design doesn't lend much credibility for you. Marc T has made that comment recently and the same goes for him. There are some pretty upset people that have paid Mark a lot of money and are not happy at all with what they received. I just sent 2 upgrade kits to a shop out west and I know for fact he is on the board so maybe he will chime in.

Actually, I think he is smarter than to get into this discussion so perhaps he will step up in another thread.

As you can see I already answered this from a previous post. I see I will need to start quoting your oringinal posts because of edits.

Why do you continue to take shots at me? Don't you have anything better to do?

Gee Lag, so now 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times can be used for comparison? I thought they had SO MANY variables that they just couldn't be trusted?


Quick Reply: 16V L-Jet supercharger updates? Anyone?
