[QUOTE="BillyGman, post: 2718801, member: 19962"] Okay, first, I also have the TRILOGY supercharger. it happens to be an Eaton M112. Trilogy has sold 103 of them to Marauder owners so far. My Marauder was Trilogy kit #24 so I felt confident about it since there were 23 Marauders that were S/Ced before mine and they were doing well. If you stay with the way the S/Cer kit comes to your door ( with the 9.5 PSI pullley on it) you won't have to do anything else to your Marauder (although I would seriously consider the widened back wheels and the Nitto P305/45/18 drag radials for off-the-line traction like many of us Trilogy customers have opted for). I haven't done anything else to my Marauder to beef-up the drivetrain. I installed a set of gears in the rear end, and an aftermarket torque converter, but those mods were done waaaay before I ever thought I would supercharger this car. There are some Marauder guys who had the Trilogy S/Cer kit installed and have stayed with the stock gears and stock stall speed, and they LUV it. What I like is that Trilogy is NOT a speed shop, nor an aftermarket parts supplier. They're an engineering company that has 90 employees including their own engineers and has had Ford as one of their clients for years now. I was very impressed to learn of that. Anyway, I installed the Trilogy S/Cer kit myself (never thought I would perform such a task, but the installatioin manual is the best and most specific I've ever seen ) which was when my Marauder had 11K on it's clock, and now I have 34K on the odometer, and so after 23,000 S/Ced miles (hard ones at that) the car still runs fantastic. I never even had to get any custome dyno tune after installaing the Trilogy kit, because it comes with a chip burned by Lidio of Alternative Auto with a complete engine tune. So I only had the car Dyno TESTED to confirm the RWHP. I never had it Dyno TUNED. And I've been driving it daily now for the last 17 months since the S/Cer installation.

I don't know if you've read my other posts, but I just beat two Vettes a couple weeks ago.
