Ben I can understand the need to prioritze. That is not an issue with Me. I own 5 companies and completely understand how a company has to operate to make money. I have 5 that do. That is why I had made the offer to get this done and done almost a year ago maybe, not quite that long. I'm glad to hear this person is gone because I do not call name's but, You are better off without him. The way i explained it to You was exactly how it went down. I bent over backward to try and get this thing done over and over. It was like talking to a wall so i gave up which is something I do not do as a rule.
These Men and Ladies will tell You and some know Me better than others that My word is good as a contract and that I would not distort for all the tea in China.
I had asked STS to provide parts.
Not because i needed financial help I felt that if I was going to be a part of the developement of a H2 STS that STS should at least help.
I appreciate Your apology. I was doing the STS in the very beginning because of the friends I have here that at that time were writing and worried about what it would or what it could not do. I told them then I will get one on and let everyone know how it goes. I took off with excitement with the challenge of just helping My Forum by Me taking the chance on the system without them having to. I saw the potential of the product I will in no way deny that and still do. I think actually if You took a few real H2 owners and I mean the kind that work on them theirselves etc. they could lend some input to perfect. I know You have engineers and can work it out. But, if You do not drive an H2 everyday or off-road You are not going to know the capabilities.
Ben I commend You on staying in there and trying to answer these question. But, again back to prioritizing R@D You would not have to had spent one minute on it just send to us the parts needed to build it. I even had already gotten a guy lined up that was going to tune it so that We would have those number for You to give to Allen Nelson to program PCM's for the system.
If You would PM Me.
I have been offered by a person in Your company to sponsor My next build which will be a lifted H2 that will be show quality camo and blacked out. I at the time thought that I would not even consider the offer but, You being fairly forward about answering questions it is something that i may consider. If You would like to discuss this, PM Me and We can talk.

All i will say about My situation and not mention the dealer as He is a very good man and I do not want to cause Him any problems
But, He and I approached STS to do R@D for H2. I would cover labor and asked STS several times to just furnish the parts. At the end STS would have had a H2 kit last summer.
The reply We got, was not going to do an H2 no market and then another response of not only are We not doing a kit for H2 We will never do one for H2 because there is not enough market there. My response was that Hummer owners spend more money to upgrade everything about their ride than most other vehicles on the road. They have the extra income to do that and that there is a market.
I was told that Your were covered up making
f body kits, did not have time to mess with it. The thing is We did not ask You to mess with it just willing provide the parts and I would cover R@D labor for the dealer. Seemed like a very fair deal to Me. I also offered to promote the turbo once i had it on for a little while to make sure all the bugs were worked out to where it would be a finished product.
So bottom line is I would have been running an STS system for a very long time by now. Instead I had a sponsor for My show H2 that furnished Me with a Magnuson supercharger to be recognised as a sponsor at shows because they saw how aggressive i was at winning whether I had sponsors or just spending My money. I would have had it on when I won the state Hummer title a while back. Not only could I have let the forum members know about it and many would have already been running STS as well but, I could have had every judge at every show looking at the STS system and not counting how many spectators would have been seeing it with a mirror underneath to show it off.
All i can say is it showed a narrow mind or tunnel vision a well as poor ability to judge a market and not taking advice from a person who knew what the market looked like.
That is all i will say as it is water under the bridge and I have moved on.

Taz,
I apologize if that is the way it was communicated to you. The salesperson that covered your area is no longer with the company.
It was not communicated to me in the way you described. We do sell a universal kit and absolutely would have let you take on the project had I known the details.
We always knew there was a market for the H2, but we have limited resources and have to prioritize R&D projects.
Thanks,
Ben </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
