[QUOTE="Livernois Motorsports, post: 1225155, member: 847"] With the parts and pieces necessary, it's definitely not an economy focused system. just 2 parts of this alone are over half the cost, not to mention all of the custom CNC machined pieces necessary for it's success. That's not even counting the R+D time that goes into it as well. Are you certain of the cause of the failures? I ask because we have about 20 of these 8-ribs out there, with some out there over a year in the field under heavy use, but we'e been using these tensioners for going on 4 years. We even have a customer with over 80k miles with one, and he's never had an alternator issue. Nor about 40 or so other customers. We did have a customer with an F150 Harley truck have alternator issues, but that was with the stock tensioner. after 2 failed, we put him into a Raptor alternator and it's been good ever since, about 40k miles as of now, 10k on stock, another 10k with the tensioner, and now another 20k have been with the 8-rib. I am surprised to see backlash on us developing a system people have been asking for, and never getting, for nearly 7 years. You make it seem like all of this takes a few minutes. Designing a FEAD is not a simple process in the slightest. If you look at what we are providing it's fairly priced. Without boring you with too many specifics, an 8-rib system for a GM costs about $1100. It doesn't include tensioners, brackets, or an A/C pulley. For a Mustang, they're almost 1900, and don't include a billet tensioner (only a cast one) and no a/c pulley. So I am not sure I follow how a similarly priced offering that includes higher priced components is somehow a bad price? [/QUOTE]
