Okay all you Paxton owners how about posting about how your installation went/is going, driving impression, dyno runs, track results, and add on (such as gauges, etc). I know many of you are just dying to let the rest of know how they are.
Good thread! I plan to slap one on in the next couple of weeks!
Please forgive STUGOTS....this is what happens when a GEN II guy wanders in here.Roe does not offer a Gen III supercharger to my knowledge.

I was under the impression there weren't that many Paxtons on SRT's yet. Are you planning something top secret Cris???Oh, there was the DLM one that he was selling....forgot about that!!!
I think there are actually a fair number of Paxton installs out there. I am VERY surprised by the "don't operate under 40º", as that could rule out quite a few of us that might take the car out on an otherwise sunny day. I wonder if that is more of a warning for traction or if the charger itself could pose a problem with colder intake temperatures. Hmmm...
I had a Paxton added to my '04 SRT-10 a few months back. I believe it was his third installation. Before that, DC Performance had changed the rear end to 3.55, added the Corsa Track exhaust, and a lightweight flywheel. After the blower, the hp increased from 436 rwhp to 651 rwhp. I have had no problems except for the horn that was not connected correctly and has only a wimpy "beep". I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. My experience is similar to the other listings. The installation was smooth and took only about 5 working days. The performance is awesome...maybe a bit too awesome. You have to really be light on the throttle in first and second gear. A car with traction control would probably blow right by you. You would probably catch up in 3rd or 4th. I am not sure I would agree some of the others about the 3.55 gears. If I had done the Paxton first, I might not have felt compelled to change the gear. It does make the car very pleasant to drive around town. I have put about 1000 miles on the car since the Paxton, including through some nasty rain storms. Very fun. My wife loves driving it too.![]()
Are you guys experiencing violent wheel hop when your spinning uncontrollably?![]()
