It really kinda bothers me to see, how out of all the people on here, only a handful has embraced the fact that i may have something awesome to bring to the industry, It makes me wonder how many great things could have been introduced in the past but driven out by all these people that think there is nothing else that can exceed what's already known, thats pretty sad to see when you're a real enthusiast that knows you have something great to offer the sport.
I can see your point, but you also have to remember how many products have been selling hopes and dreams over the years and have failed to deliver.
You are fighting an uphill battle, right or wrong, but that's the nature of the beast. You've released testing numbers and data, kudos for that, but we all know that just because a product works in theory and under ideal conditions in a test doesn't mean that there won't be issues that pop up later on under harsher and less controlled conditions. I think this is where a lot of guys might want to believe you, but don't see the anecdotal evidence to support your claims, which is a big part of forums- what has worked for others in
practice and are products really as good as the claims on the websites on our less-than-perfect trucks. I would do as others have suggested and have some well respected members test the pump. Their objective opinion is going to hold more weight than the sales guy trying to push a product (even if it is the best, we all know you come into it with an agenda).
I want your pump to do everything you say it can. I'm still on the 7.3 bandwagon and appreciate that anyone is willing to try to innovate for these trucks as long as they have been out of production. Enthusiasts want to see the real world results so they have a better idea of how the product proves itself in practice, not just theory. Part of it is not having to take the risk on your own vehicle. I've got a windowed block from just that... testing something that worked in theory :badidea: not a good feeling. Practical testing also helps with any needed design changes that you learn through that trial-and-error process of product development and customer feedback. Why do you think I run a Gen3 and not a Gen1? Not everything is perfect when it first gets released. How many TSB and recalls are out for vehicles even though the engineers said it
should work perfectly?
Pay your dues, get some good feedback from guys willing to try it out and let their results speak for themselves... I bet it will be a lot louder than any shouting you can do in this thread.
