    Oh I understood what you we referring to just not sure where you are going with it.

    Supercharger manufacturers. How many are there in the world? Harrop aren't using their own supercharger.

    They are designed around an eaton unit. You might remember a few superchargers failing, well it's was the eaton portion of the Harrop kit at fault.

    Herrod has aligned himself with Ford Perfromance as have Tickford. There are Ford DNA issues underlining the use of Ford Perfromance parts and how they work. The third party is Ford themselves.

    You won't see them using Harrop kits in mustangs here or anywhere else for that matter.

    What separates all these options isn't the hardware but how it's been used.

    Brembo supply brakes to a lot of cars. Not all em have the same performance or even feel.
    Zf or Sachs supply the same exact parts to many manufacturers but then they are tuned towards the the companies own requirements that set them apart from the competition.

    Where Ford Perfomance is used there is some political BS going on so it will be interesting to see exactly how the cars drive.

    As to what is different between Herrod and Tickford offerings we will have to wait to see the full details of which haven't been supplied as yet.
    History is a statement, the future is a question.
