I am IMPRESSED! 
I finally finished the install this evening. ROE Blower 6.5 psi, 1.7 harland sharp roller rockers, PBJ intake, Catch can, ROE water/**** kit. $6450 for everything including chroming and powder coating. Since most of the parts were purchased used there were a few glitches along the way, damaged intake pipe in shipping from UGR, missing bolts, missing pully, etc. But considering the retail price of close to $10,000 if everything was purchased new, you have to expect a few little problems. Luckly we have a machine shop at my work.
I drove the viper about 40 miles tonight, no codes thrown. Drives fine under part throttle. Never went above 190degrees. Half throttle to Full this thing is an animal. Stock, my car had decent traction with the stock tires as long as i wasn't too agressive with the clutch engagement, and didn't power shift. Now first is USELESS, second basically is too! I laid about 200 ft of rubber easing in to it in second from a 25mph roll! Third gear is AWESOME, it hard to believe how fast this car can accelerate now from a 35 to 100+ in third. I can't wait for Jon at Parts Rack to get me my Sport Cup tires. I had herd that ROE's build boost fast but its way quicker then i ever would have imagined. Hits like a big NOS wet shot. I'm going to change the oil tomarrow and hopefully get it on the dyno by the end of the week. A big thanks to Leeland (LPDESROCHE) and Jennifer for helping with the install, Tony (1TONY1) for getting my injectors cleaned quick and at a great price, Dave at ROE racing for excellent support especially considering that i didn't purchase the blower new from them, and Mark (JohnnyBravo) for selling me the Blower. I can not believe i waited 3 years to add some boost!

. Couple of questions: stock rear gears? 180 t-stat? what year is your car?
My car is a 2000GTS. I did change to a 172 degree thermostat while doing the blower install, as suggested by dave at ROE. I already had random tech high flow cats and a corsa cat back. I had put on a set of borla headers, cats, and b&b cat back which made good power but was crazy loud, so i'm pretty happy with the sound of the current setup, although i might add headers again after i get a chance to hear some on someone elses car at a viper event first. The gears are stock.
