Prove what you have! I, and everyone want to see the bottom side of what you have! Or does KB rip you apart?

Of course a KB is better than the Apten. The KB is a twin screw blower. No matter what you do to the Eaton it's still a roots type supercharger.

First of all, I have a KB on my L, and LOVE it! However, I don't think that Apten is necessarily trying to compete directly with the KB. Seems to me that Apten is trying to offer L owners an option that, while not providing the level of performance that a $3K KB is capapable of delivering, still provides an increase in performance worthy of its $500-$600 price tag. So those guys that may not have $3K laying around can still upgrade their factory Eaton in an effort to increase the efficiency, and thus the power output of their combination. Just my .02...

Later,
Rob

first Apten asked it's customers not to put it on the 'net so they can recoup their R&D costs.

Why not let them recoup their investment!

KEEP THE PICS OFF THE 'net

If I wanted to steal the research and development from someone badly enough, I would just buy their product to do it. That's what the Chinese have done for years. The Japanese go one step better and improve on the idea. Not posting pics is going to do squat to prevent a motivated thief.

The way people critique every new idea around here, and muddy the waters with confusion, might be the real reason for not posting pics. If these guys don't want to expose their product to public criticism, before they can show a profit, I can understand that. Just a thought.
