I have been looking at these for a while now and want one so badly, I wouldnt sell my TA though. Would just want it for a cruising car, its a throw up between a cayman and viper. Well see what I go with once I'm out of school.

It isn't bad at all, all the parts are readily available and well priced. The only really expensive parts are aftermarket, and that is even limited to exhaust, i.e., headers/catback. Most FI and tuning setups are similar to fbodies. I.e. a supercharger setup with tuning program/hardware, fuel injectors, etc. is $7k and will make 700RWHP on the stock motor.

Do you know how big of a shot and the MPH? I'm planning on a 250 for now, but TX is really tempting me to just order the whole Roe setup now.

He was running a 200 shot. He will be at 2k10 as well with the new ride. I do believe it was around 131 or so mph.
Supposedly they take a 300shot fine on stock long block from what he has told me.

Yea, I've heard the same. I'm just stuck on, spend $2.5-$3k for the N2O for now, or just take the $10k dip and get the Roe.

Here are some iPhone pics. I'll get some with the tint, Zaino, and CCW's up tomorrow:

What is the difference between the Roe and paxton? Shovv talked about the 980rwhp gts here and he is running a paxton with alot of meth.

Roe is twin screw, Paxton is centrifugal. I like how clean the install on the Roe is, and the intake tract on the Paxton seems pretty restrictive. At 10psi on the Roe I'm looking at about 730RWHP, which is plenty. I don't want to go over the top with this car like the T/A did and make it less fun to drive. It'll retain a 150 shot on top of that for 'insurance'.

Hey whats going on Trust....Nice pickup on the Viper

I work for the Guy that 3.8 Redbird is talking about. He owns a performance shop. He is running a 200 shot and runs 10.67 @ 131 witht the only mods being nitrous on his 98 GTS. He is also looking for a Roe to spray as well as soon as he sells his 95 Rt/10. From my point of view thats the best way to go on the street. the Paxtons take too long to get into a really good powerband compared to the roe. on the street the roe will jump out and the spray will keep them out in front. Just my .02

Wanna hear somethin else funny. Here is what that Viper did to your old T/A just a few weeks ago. Small World huh.. I was recording from your T/A....Sick Ride BTW



We will be at 2K10 for sure so shoot me a pm with your number and we will be glad to meet up with you.

Gah, the guy in my old car needs to stop messing around and pull the filter off it, it makes no power with it on, literally 200hp less, lol.

That's sick though, if you don't mind, can you shoot me the number to his shop, I wouldn't mind talking to him about the Viper since I am a newb on them.
