Jim; you have done a lot for many Lightning owners. You have built motors and put several trucks into the 10's; mostly people around NJ, but that is another thing.
Yeah; I am going to stick to the facts. Kindof hard to go against facts. There are two sides to the FFW story/MP blower story. That comes down to facts and opinions. I am not going to go threw that again; you posted some of the info about it, but not all. And some of what you posted is fact, and some is scewed to your advantage. I had 3 other people standing right there, and all of them saw it the way I stand behine my side of the story. Remember you said I like sticking to facts.
I am going to stick to facts, and Jim feel free to follow any post I make that you feel you have a better facts.
As for picking your customers; no you can not do that on initial purchases and such. But, you can sure "fire" a customer. Weather it be by you telling them, or you doing actions which make them "resign" I think it is obvious you don't have to worry about me being a customer.
But Jim; what is your address so I can send you a new key board as a Christmas gift. It is obvious that yours is broke; atleast the "L" key when it comes to typing my screan name

Out of the thirty 10 second trucks we have out there only four or five are from NJ, we have two in your hometown in Florida, Alabama, Texas, Mass, Conn, Maine, Canada, Cali, & New York State, I would say they are pretty well spread out. I didn''t think we were discussing ten second trucks here I thought we were discussing you continuing to attack a product that only had one fault to it which was a leaky nose cone and that has been fixed. I guess what I would like to know from you: are you done beating up this product on all the websites? Because you have made some pretty damaging posts. As it stands right now, out of the 100 MP's out there that we sold I know of two people that have complained of lack of performance, you and a gentleman from Virginia. The gentleman from Virginia did get an 11.80 pass on it but he was hoping for more. He does have a built motor, I am sure with some tuning he could have gone faster. So for 98% happy MP customers I think that's pretty good. I would like to finish this with you. If you have any other concerns or questions about the product I will be happy to talk to you.

There is two 10 second Lightning's in Pensacola?
Casey has the fastest Lightning that I personally know of in the area. I did alot of the work to Ed Parkers Lightning who was a customer of yours with lots of mods. His truck has never been on the track and it is now destroyed thanks to the salt water surge from hurricane Ivan.
Just curious.

LOL !!!!
I can't spare any $$$$ at the moment, Im saving for a KB, Maf, and 50lb Inj. After watching Casey's truck go 7.30's in the 1/8 and reading about your truck I am stepping up in January. I figure the black L's are the fastest anyway so I might as well join the crowd.
So useing your theory and if I do my math right ------>
Casey owes my $2000.00
You owe me $1700.00 (giving you credit for the wheels)
My paypal email is bob-tompkins@***. net

Seriously congrats on the performance of your truck, Im very impressed to say the least.

In any case, you've definitely got my interest on the MP. I was eyeing ported stock, but for a little more money, I like what I'm seeing.

Looks around hometown for these two 10 second L's 
"damaging posts" well truth hurts; I only post truth. You even said in this thread that I like to post facts.
I personally know 3 people who have sold, or plan to sell there MP due to lack of performance vs cost. A lot of people will just go another route and not say a word.
Yeah; the MP had some problems for me. A leaky snout x2 and a broken upper pulley, but I can get over that. This is not me; I am a very laid back person. But, when someone does something/multiple things to **** me off I can't just sit back. Jim, the big issue is not the part; it is the vendor:santa:
