Dude, if you can afford 4900, then what's another 200, which is what everyone sells the Radix for. How the hell do you port a supercharger anyway? Are they just talking about the manifold...if not then what? I wouldn't touch the housing where the rotors are. That's just common sense engineering. Plus, I think the Radix manifold is a work of art. 
Just get a smaller freakin' pulley. You FI guys suck!

Sure we are, and we will always take care of the end user. Just trust me, price should NEVER be the deciding factor on a purchase. I would rather spend 200 more from a knowledgeable dealer than a parts ***** on e-bay. Just my .02

Don't you do some kind of due diligence with regards to who you sell your products to? If someone is selling your products, you've approved of them somehow, right - I mean where else is anyone going to get a Radix from, besides you?
To me, it sounds like price can actually be the deciding factor. There's no reason for it not to be. You've approved of the vendor, you take care of warranty issues, so why not go on price?
Now if you're talking about an install shop, then we're talking you better be smart about it. But if you're shipping Radix blowers to someone, and they're just turning around and selling them to someone else, what's the beef?

I take that back. I am speaking for the other vendors on this site that work their asses off to make a living. Haveing been in that position, I understand how they feel when the price of something is driven down into the gutter by message boards. Let these guys make a living and put food on their table.
