    sooo... if 500 HP is not enough...

    Now that 750 flywheel average... Is that just installing on the entire paxton kit (which Cragin's tune) on a factory vehicle??? No exhaust mods? I wouldn't want to try to push an additional 200-250hp through my factory exhaust with any power adder form. Whether it be supercharger or Nitrous...

    sooo... if 500 HP is not enough...

    Centrifugal superchargers (Like a paxton) obviously, are just belt driven turbochargers. Which is why they behave similar to turbo's. Roots and Twin screws... They have always made power down low, but they are not efficient at all. So most of the air they force into the engine is hot. But as...

    So this 96 has rear exhaust. Sliding windows and a Gen 1 style hood with no vents. http://cosprings.craigslist.org/cto/5893389797.html

    Man... There's a 96RT-10 for sale within an hour of my house, has a ROE supercharger on it with multiple tunes that come with it. Been for sale for over a month asking 29,500 and hasn't updated or budged on the price. I'm still confused on the 96 area though. I don't know if they are gen 1 or 2...

    sooo... if 500 HP is not enough...

    I'm curious about this. I see people saying Paxton = reliable. Then post's like this, talking about snapping snouts. Are people just putting too much tension on the belts? If you had to guess what would you say the ratio of successful Paxton install's vs failed would be?

    Maybe I just don't know how to search on this forum, but it's proving difficult to find info. Looking for "Broken Crank" "Crank snout broken", and can't find a whole lot. I was also trying to search for the gen 3 body part composition. Like what parts are fiberglass, carbon fiber, plastic...

    I don't believe that is the case, as I have seen many coupes that are NOT blue with double white stripes in my searching. Either that or they've all been painted, which I doubt. There's a supercharged black one right now, but they are very vague on how it is set up. That drives me crazy. You're...

    Looking for a Viper V10 (or RAM SRT10) engine for a Jeep (yes, Jeep) project.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the SRT ram is also considered a sport truck, and like Steve e was hinting at, may not be set up for towing applications. Again correct me if I'm wrong, but there is really nothing super special about the Viper engine. It's still just a two valve push rod V engine...

    MoparMap, that is more or less what I am gathering the more I read. I seems these cars are very well built. Sure they have issues that pop up like the motor mounts or power steering, but that is insignificant in the car world. As far as the type of driving I do, it would mostly be just tooling...

    What is Roe? I thought that was a tuning company, as I've seen ROE supercharges on gen II's. And sub $20k!!! I've been stalking Craigslist and now Autotrader and the lowest I have seen was 24k for an 03 with 120,xxx miles. It didn't last long. There's now a Salvage 03 on Craig's for 27,500. And...

    Introduction and looking for opinions

    Hello VCA, My name is Jon Martin. I've been researching for a little while, watching craigslist for about a month and finally registered here a while ago. I find this forum interesting, because I come from forums where people have very short funds. Forums where most people are DIY builders and...
