That's in his sig in bright colors.

It would negate any perceived impropriety, wether its a legitimate concern or not.

Ive specifically seen Bob slam the Magnacharger, and pimp the ATI, which is fine, for certain people. I ended up buying the Maggie anyways, because of various reasons I wont get in to...im just voicing my opinion.
This forum? Really?

Bob, you have nothing to fear, your reputation is stellar and will continue to be so even if you never voice your product preference ever again.
It's stellar because he gives good, sincere advice.

And to the rest of the nut-swingers, your statements are nothing more than that, just nut-swinging, because I only made referrence to the method in which EPP decided to push thier product, which is still a ****-poor way of doing it...
Honestly man what do you have against EPP? If you read other posts by Bob or go to his website you will see that he supports the ATI's not only because he is a sponsor of them but because they are a very high quality product. Also, someone already said this but if you really READ the article its in response to vortech's claims. Vortech makes tons of claims that they are a superior product or put out XXX amount of horsepower and XXX torque and procharger is just pointing out that no thats not the case, and that their tests against other products, which are done in house, are biased in nature. Bob isnt saying "VORTECH SUCKS, BUY AN ATI PROCHARGER FROM ME!" hes just stating his opinion and providing info to another board member. I havent had a chance to purchase anything from Bob yet as my car is still mainly a bolt on car with some suspension upgrades so how is that considered nutswinging? He provides valid info and help to many a board member so why turn to childish name-calling? No need to call people nutswingers just because you cant read and cant defend your statements intelligently...

One thing I did notice that wasn`t mentioned is Vortech does not reccomend using their superchargers under 32 degrees.I read an article in high performance pontiac a few months back and they said immediate bearing failure could result in cold conditions. Just something to think about if you live in colder climates and it may be your daily driver.The article dealt with installing a vortech on one of their cars,the info was in a sidebar in the article.
