Forget email or calling, I would drive straight there before your wife change her mind.

Sent from my 2005 Red Alert Titan via the Autoguide app on my ASUS Transformer.

The kit is over 7100 shipped now...no deals no discounts. I would have purchased for 5200/tuner kit.

Sorry, no business from me, turbo kit is cheaper.

I understand what you're saying. That's why people need to see the kit going down the track running 12's.

Sam talked a big game...he is a salesperson. But when he dropped the 6999 price plus 150 for shipping....I said no thank you. Wife approved the 5199 plus shipping.
The tuner kit doesn't come with software, injectors, pump, or other accessories.

Well, we had a promotion going for 30 days and no one jumped on it. We're still here, but we've got a lot of other projects going on and we've got some new equipment coming here shortly as well. We do plan on making some more videos, but it is going to be a little while before we'll have the time to invest in that. In the meantime, the kit performs very well and that's really all there is to it. If you aren't interested in a supercharger kit, that's perfectly ok with us. I will say this, we have already sold a few overseas so there is certainly demand for it without having 1/4 mile times.

I don't think anyone is denying the GTM kit performs the way you say. People are very skeptical due to the very poor showings of the stillen kit in the 1/4. If the GTM kit would have come out first, I would have bought it.

Thankfully many of the stillen s/c owners have posted time slips and videos of 1/4 runs and none of them make a convincing argument to add boost to the Titan.

Well if it goes on sale again or there's ever a group buy I'm still in. Just not at the current price..at the moment anyways.

So at 7K, how much profit are we talking here GTM? 5-6K ??

**spoolie** · 11-20-2012, 01:32 PM

I with others here...if the price goes back to the first post, I'm all over it. I've owned 2 ProCharger kits...basically the same thing.

We're talking $7k of profit. We get all our parts for free and the R&D was done by Santa's elves up in the North Pole. We don't pay the reindeer to deliver the kit either, so that's free for us too.

MilenkoGT · 11-20-2012, 04:44 PM

lol Nice! A supercharged Titan delivery truck! lol. Thats what i'm talking about! UPS and Fedex need to check themselves and get a Titan!

F the reindeer and santa's fat azz, he can stick to driving the Mercedes SLS.

well good luck selling any of these. you said it, the elves did the r&d..

So I guess in reality the thing to do if you want a supercharged truck is to get a Tundra w/factory kit. I am not sur so the price but iirc you can get the Trd supercharger kit for around five grand with a factory warranty. I would think their price includes install, and tune.
Realistically how many people who can afford a 35k truck are going to drop 7k on a kit then going to have to spend however much it costs to get it going. That is close to a fifty thousand dollar Titan!
Mike@GTM I think it is cool to have a supercharger kit available but for me and probably 99.99999% of the users on this site it is just too much money plain and simple.

eh, idk about that. People see stillen's kits, the problems with them, and the not impressive times they run down the quarter and think hm, i can run twelve second quarter miles with bolt ons.

people pay big bucks from long travel kits like the guys in cali, and then the guys who have the nice lifts with coilovers and everything else adds up close to that too. I do see what your sayin tho.

LOL I'm not an idiot! I understand that it costs money to make a kit like this but at 7K can you honestly say that you aren't making at least 4-5K on each kit? 7K for no videos or track times? LOL What a joke!

PS: Airaid did R&D on the only 4" kit available for the titan and they aren't charging $500 for a CAI kit

Why not pick someone out on this site that races, sell them a SC kit for cost and let them market it for you? They could get track times
