Defyant said:Help me out here. Save me the search... but did J. Barnes and DR or any other vendor give reports and updates during the design process?
This is an excellent point to make!
Us members here in FL and GA and more and more across the US are finding out all about DR, and it is not good! I won't even comment on his reputation, his credibility, or the number of screwed customers, how good his kits work, because we all know the answer.
JB has had his problems also. A current tuner at Diablo worked on the Trilogy tuning issue for 4 mos, and I heard an earful, but that is past tense and the future is now, the kit performs great! Why turn the dirt over?
Greg's problems are not as severe as has been stated. There is complicity by other parties in the matter. Posting a lot of that complicity on MM.net is not possible.
To come out and talk about damaged motors on the site at a time when the supercharger war was going strongly, would have been stupid in my opinion. As a businessman, Greg's only concern would have been to ensure that his customers received a quality working product with good tuning. And I helped him with that! Problems solved.
Greg should be given credit if anything for providing customers the option to supercharge using a kit that has excellent fit and finish, quality Diablo tuning, great HP and TQ, for a much less cost. And he even had to work through the schemings of SCT and DR to boot!
