Got the Roe SC installed by Larry Macedo last Saturday and one word..........WOW!!!!!!!!!Larry did a great job....clean and it looks great. Power all the way...unbelievable feeling. Gave the car new life. Comparison to pre-SC........night vs. day

Dynoed at noon, lots of heat/humidity.....567RWHP AND 605RWTQ.
(Pre-SC: 445RWHP and 482RWTQ)

Will be adding 70mm throttle bodies and making some minor adjustments. Waiting for Sean to send the MSD box. Larry feels that there is still some tuning to be done to increase the power.
(I am all for that).

Car explodes out of the gate, and sounds downright mean. Been having too much fun with it.

On the way back from picking it up, driving on the 408 (Greenbelt), a Camaro SS came up and wanted to play. Hit it, and left the car behind about 8 car lengths. This was just a very short distance. Could not believe how it just propels with ease.

Same night, a good buddy begged me to go out to find some imports. Too tired, so I let him drive it. He has a Steeda SC, and drives much better than I can. Crusing downtown Orlando, and nothing to be found. Everybody just smiles and nods, and wants to see wheelspin. Boring. Cruise up Colonial and come across a 300zx Twin turbo with all its gauges etc. The guy pulls up to us at a light, and you could hear the wastegates open. He looks at us, and comments on how awesome the Viper is lobing. Wants to race from a roll in 2nd gear (hehehehee). My buddy smiles, and obliges. The road was pretty much desolate..........so we give him a car length and he takes off..........we catch him instantenously and next thing we are doing 130 and he is nowhere to be seen........we could see headlights disappearing and then slowed down and allowed him to pull up.......he gave us the thumbs up and his buddy goes "**** , Dog, he has never been beaten that bad" We smile and since we both had a natural high, we had to stop at the WingHouse for some brewskies. It was a fun night. The car squatted on the road and just took off like a bat in hell. It will spin in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Love it.

Sean, one heck of a product. Everybody that I know that has fast cars and muscle cars have come by and complimented your work. Thumbs up to you, and will highly recommend you to anybody.
Larry, as always........good job.....as promised a 7 course meal when it hits 600RWHP. To everybody that has been thinking of getting a ROE SC, just do it. You will not regret it.

Sean, Can you PLEASE expedite the Cali smog legal version of your supercharger? Hearing all of the positive reports and not being able to purchase one is driving me insane! LOL
You can DO it.

VIPERCANE -

Thanks for the report. Feel free to elaborate details on eveyday driving (as if there even can be such a thing now).

I got my call from Florida yesterday & Sean is shipping my Supercharger to me and I should get it by this weekend and I want to know as many details as possible on what to expect.

SUN RA KAT,
I gotta say, I'm getting a kick out of your posts.
Your like a kid the night before Christmas (no flame)!
You just can't wait to get that SC on your snake!
I don't blame you. I wish I had the dough.
I'd be waaaaay more impatient than you.
Keep up the posts, I love seeing the results.

Awesome, I got my car back Saturday, when I got back into the country. Same results, ZOOM, ZOOM, BOOM, BOOM.

I have noticed my exhausts has doubled in sound output, I get a nice little S/C whistle, Power all the way through the RPM band. It feels like its all motor.

Just through on 3 inch airbox, tubes, 70 mm throttle bodies and 1.7 roller rockers and you will be right at 600 rwhp.

This is interesting and very true. I guess that the volume of exhaust has increased significantly so the car is now louder. I do NOT want a lot of exhaust sound (I may be the only Viper owner with this desire

), but now the stock exhaust with Sean's oval HF cats is significantly nastier! The low range rumble is quite nice even without cat backs. And there is a S/C whistle at idle and low rpm. It's probably there at high rpm but it gets lost in the engine noise.

The fun pedal is also noticeably more sensitive...snappier...sort of like the car is not at equilibrium when it's not accelerating or decelerating. Any pedal motion sees an immediate response. I would not be able (well let's say it would be uncomfortable and exhausting) to drive in city traffic with the 70 mm TBs. So, as before, I would suggest that anyone who is planning to use their Roe S/C Viper as a daily driver (if you expect to see traffic) to think about driving the car before you go to the larger TBs...just my humble advice

Yes, the exhaust sound has gotten louder and meaner..........and the whistling when downshifting is a kick with the backfiring at the exhaust. Yes, I will be getting the rockers and with the 70mm TB, I hope Larry can get it to 600RWHP. This car has become so much fun to drive.

Thanks again, Sean!!!!!!!!!Thank you Larry!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like you are hooked and are ready for more mods.

But, I know you did not just say that you heard the Z's WASTEGATES open while he was standing at the light.

That should do it for you. All the cars with that setup have dyno'd at 597 - 602 rwhp.

WEll my car with no cats nor mufflers is really loud, I think I will be putting the cats in to quiet it down but it does sound pretty mean especially on video going by at 140 mph plus at full throttle. And get this you can even here the whistle of the S/C at that speed outside the car I played back the tape and could not beleive what I was hearing it was like a jet. I absouloutely love the power and the noise.

Russ, we were at the light at Colonial when the Z pulled up...no he was not standing still as he was in motion pulling up beside us and you could hear the beautiful sound of his turbos rhyme.
Pretty loud too.

Gonnabite, could you post that video......I would love to hear the whistle at 140. Thanks. It is an awesome sound.
