I've been reading this thread for awhile now. It's always nice to see someone's joy.
I'm glad you've "seen the supercharger light". I'd like to suggest buying a Roe supercharger. Not for dyno numbers, but for the improvemnet you get when driving the Roe. Since you get max torque at 2,000rpm, the supercharger works when you drive the car. The Paxton starts about 3500 and then increases torque and hp. They're completely different styles of supercharging. I don't race my car - I drive it. I find that with the Roe I can pass go up the steepest hills and never need to downshift from 1300rpm in high gear @ 60mph. Couldn't do that with a Paxton. Also, the Roe kit comes with electronics, custom intake and is a complete system as compared to the Paxton that comes with dual fuel pumps and needs tons of extra if you want the bigger power. When you want big power with the Roe, just order an 8 or 10# pulley and add water/**** injection.
The Roe disadvantage is that you can't let anyone else drive your car. With the immediate torque output your car will have no traction at WOT under 60mph, or 90mph if you have runflat tires. This is my 98 with Roe 600rwhp,
My '01 has 720rwhp, but with the Michelin Pilots it has traction after 60mph, usually. I spoke to Sean and 720rwhp seems to be equivalent to about 1000rwhp with a Paxton. Just my opinion, but the Roe gives you a much more sophisticated system for your money. It gives you a power curve that works similar to having a 1000ci. engine. If you don't want the humongous torque produced by the Roe - the Paxton is much easier to control as it'll produce stock hp under 3500hp. The owner of the 1000hp Paxton car I wanted to buy, at one time, told me that sometimes he has traction in 1st gear (I have NONE), he said that the car hooked second gear easily (I usually have low traction all through second) and third gear was all traction (I often have no traction in 3rd at lower speeds). My car has gone 10.5@139mph with stock Pilots and no Nitrous.
It all depends on what power curve you want for your driving style. I wouldn't enjoy the Paxton since I seldom drive over 3,000rpm, but I suppose I could let my kids drive the car with a Paxton, since it doesn't have the torque at idle. I only allow my kids to drive the car while I'm sitting in it.
I've had 2 Roe's now and I find this one only has a little too much power for street driving. I have a 100hp Nitrous kit on the car - I just can't imagine anywhere I could push the button, except the race track. But, if I ever get to the race track with a roll cage I'll try for a 10.1 on Pilots.

I now need to purchase a spare tire as I sold my mint (never used) spare tire on Ebay.
