We just finished testing the first Gen 1 Paxton Supercharger install. The kit should be in production in about two months. Thanks to John Javage to lending his vehicle to Paxton for this preproduction fit.
The system was installed on a stock 93 Viper with headers. The results were an increase of about 150hp at the wheels. Final numbers were 528hp and 544trq at the wheels. Baseline was 376hp and 390trq at the wheels.
The kit is very similar to the current Gen 2-3 systems. Unlike the other systems, this kit comes with larger fuel injectors. The install is clean and neat and appears to be well engineered. This system will have a new airbox (that was not yet fitted) which should give even bigger numbers.
I have no concerns with this new system, we will plan to have a cooling system, balancer and boost upgrade available for this kit. I think 600rwhp could be had reliably on these early cars. More testing will tell. I think that it is important for those considering this package should realize that with a car that is 10-12 years old should be properly inspected and maintained before intalling this package (tires, brakes, clutch, head gaskets etc..).
Thanks to Paxton and all involved, this should prove to be a great system.
