a kit for the 01+ Crown Victoria? I noticed the MM kit didn't interfere with the battery(from what I could tell in the photo on the homepage.)

Interceptor, there would be a signifigant amount of re-work to their Marauder kit to make it work for our cars. There are already several people that have s/c kits for our cars, and I can't see the demand being there for them to develop a kit for us.
I am very impressed with the kit Trilogy put together for the Marauder. The fit and finish, and quality of parts used is fantastic. I don't believe the Eaton M112 will fit our cars, the intake is signifigantly different, etc. etc.
The AED kit I have has advantages and disadvantages over the Trilogy kit, but you can't really compare them apples to apples.
Take a look at AED's kit, or DR's kit for our cars.

I have...and thank you for your advice. I am just trying to get a horsepower/dollar ratio, from the guys who make kits.
I would like to know if you have 1/4 mile times. That way I can get a feel for the difference from stock. Thanks.

I did post in the timeslips section on this board. This was in mid-August with 90 degree temps and a fair amount of humidity in the air.
On a cooler day (50-60 degrees) I am thinking I could easily be in the mid to upper 13's. AED does have some weaknesses in their kit which I am working on (intercooler cooling) which should help keep the charge air temps down to re-gain some HP.
There are still some upgrades I haven't tried, like exhaust, gears, torque converter, etc. Speed costs money, and I am happy with a very street drivable car that can beat many cars pulling away from a stop light. It isn't a 12 second car and I'll never put the money into making it a 12 second car, but I also have less $ into my car than most people paid for their stock Marauder.
The Marauder with a s/c doesn't even compare to mine. There is probably another 80-100 HP or more over what my car puts out.
Like I said, I am very happy with my car, and can honestly recommend the AED package.
