Well I went from listing the Viper for sale to having a change of heart and deciding to keep it and Supercharge it, Go figure. lol! I had a get together over the weekend with friends and the time ol' reaction the car got really woke me up again and gave it new life lol, I've had it for a year... which it sat in the garage the majority of... working working working and letting the car sit in the garage and never driving it can really cause one to lose hold of what the heck they have! I've decided to keep it for now and enjoy it :)

Well I want to keep it to $10K... I called Ted @ Valaya, and we plan on throwing on the Paxton Supercharger kit. It's gonna run nearly $10K to the cent... and we are thinking 600rwhp (100octane) when it's all said and done.

Before I do, I was Just curious if anyone had any other suggestions as far as other mods I could do for this price? excluding nitrous setups. something maybe comparable or more bang for the buck. Thanks for the opinions guys.

Plan on getting rid of those 3.73 gears when you add the S/C...Those are a no no with 600+ RWHP. You will have huge traction problems, low top speed...A stock C-6 will take you 140 and up...Go to stock 3.07, 3.33, or 3.55 max and have a 200 MPH supercar....AL :nono: :nono: :D

Roe blower would make more power, won't need 100 octane and would cost less. Looks better IMO too.

Roe blower (comes with VEC2): $7500
Roe water/****: $380
Fluidyne radiator: $692
Save the rest for install fees, and you are about $10,000 (little less).

Or, wait a little while longer, and you are just about close to being able to get the Roe blower, and some ported heads. That's what I would wait for. You are really close with $10,000.

EDIT: you could get the regular finish Roe for $7245 and save some more bucks.

what Shelby and Anaconda said plus the power is in the lower RPM range, perfect for cruising in 5th gear.
With all the twin turbo conversitions you may do better buying a used Roe S/C.

Plus Roe's product support is superior.

I just did a search on ROE, and man is it impressive... makes me really second guess the Paxton. I see there's a dealer/installer in SanJose. I just like loyalty, and would prefer Valaya to do it. I'll have to call and ask some questions. Thanks guys.

That ROE looks/puts out way better.
