Roe Blowers Got Expensive(r)!

[jasontiff]

This may be old news, but I was daydreaming, making my Christmas list, and noticed that Roe blowers are 1.) not currently in production and 2.) jumped up $1k.

That said, if anyone has a Gen. I takeoff on the cheap, I'll put it on my Christmas list. CARRY ON.

 

[BOTTLEFED]

Wow, that was a jump for something that's not even available
still a great product, just not the awesome value it used to be - just a good value now

 

[triblk6spd]

Oh that would be sweet!

 

[plumcrazy]

im guessing the paxton will go up now too. cause they are the only game in town for sure...

 

[treesnake]

Hmmm.. This isn't good.

Sean just cancelled his Gen 3 blower. It will not be produced at all.
I know a couple guys that have been waiting over a year for one...

He is actually going to make a tuner kit for the Paxton...

 

[treesnake]

Hope we don't have trouble getting parts....

Migh have to put staying stock on my xmas list...

jasontiff,

I have a Gen 1 Roe that comes complete, car/head/cam/, everything that I will sell you for xmas, all for 36K! It put down 648rwhp/745rwyq with factory exhaust manifolds. I just added 1 3/4 headers, so it should be about 670-680rwhp now.

No extra 1k in my pocket means no supercharger! I'm going to start putting a bunch of tuner stickers on my car. They're worth like 5-10 hp each right? Thats what the Honda guys are saying. The stickers will make people think my car is fast! Oh Wait....ITS A VIPER! ITS ALREADY FAST! JD

The Vipair is worth 50hp alone. Here's everything you wanted to know (but were afraid to ask) about the Vipair. Grab a six pack and take a gander at this: http://forums.viperclub.org/rt-10-g...o-results-99-rt-16-rwhp.html?highlight=vipair

My Paxton kits have increased $400 but I have not passed this on to our customers.

Stock???


Yeah right!!!

Dave has been drinking again!!!

Let me know when you decide to sell your splitters and go back to stock...

Back to your regularly scheduled thread.

 

[whitebluevipe]

i hate to say it but i might have been priced right out of the Roe Supercharger market.

I know Ryan was REALLY interested in your car for quite a while...that thing is a beast!

I actually just wrapped up doing heads/cam on mine, and did TNT headers as well. I'd probably be in the same ballpark power-wise if I got my hands on a Roe. Unfortunately though, I don't need a second Gen. I and don't have it in my budget for a second Viper right now. A blower could be a possibility down the road, but it isn't in the cards in the coming months.

So you have a Roe complete system The blower comes with a car?...
No wonder they are so expensive....

 

[mbccenter]

I guess my used one I will have on the market soon will be worth a little more

 

[BOTTLEFED]

yeah, it might be a good time to sell a used one since Roe is out of stock right now and the price increased. I wonder what used ones will sell for now?

 

[plumcrazy]

it sounds like roe's future is in serious question. ya might not wanna buy a product you cant get parts for or service on.

granted they dont break often though

Jason you going to dyno it to see what the mods gave you? I'm interested in seeing what your numbers are. I also find it interesting that two Jasons have the same year same color car. seperated at birth maybe? JD

 

[PDCjonny]

97GTS B&W: Roe S/C 5#, VEC3, Borla headers and catless exhaust, smooth tubes and K&Ns, 1.7 rockers, 3.55 gears, Fidanza, short-shift kit, 577rwhp/577rwtq all on cast pistons

Did you have your forged pistons removed and replaced with cast?

Once the break-in miles are done we're going to dyno tune it. I haven't romped on it too hard yet, so I haven't really felt any power gains. We shall see.

I'm going to do a small write-up when it's all concluded.

 

[TexasPettey]

That sad to hear for a Gen1. Has it been confirmed with Sean? The Gen1's love boost with the low compression ratio and forged bottom end.

On a similar setup, heads/708/exhaust, and 6lbs of boost from a ROE my Gen1 dynod at 600RWHP & 600TRQ. That was also with stock Throttle bodies, where are a huge restriction in the intake path at that HP. I expect a ROE on your car with 10lbs, water-****, big TB's, and intake box would make over 700RWHP easily.

I guess we'll have to do a dyno at The RoundUp so that I can beat you N/A before the SC goes on.

 

[martyb]

TexasPettey,

I think you are correct. My car made 648rw with 10 pounds and the stock exhaust manifolds and stock throttle bodies. I just added headers, and I think if I were to give it a more aggressive tune, it would be close to 700rw. I have a conservative tune in the car now, I would rather be safe than sorry!

 

[BOTTLEFED]

Did you have your forged pistons removed and replaced with cast?

nope, just been through more than one motor and ended up with cast pistons
do a search and you'll find the pages and pages describing my ordeal

News Flash! Roe blower sales down 50% global markets shudder...

Am I still NA if I do a 100 shot?

My break-in miles are almost up. I just need to get a replacement wire for #7 (accidentally gutted it pulling it off for boot protectors) and I'll be back on the road. I'll let you know what I net at the dyno.

I think I'm just going to buy the Ebay twin turbo kit for $500 and have 1400 RWHP (turbos not included)

^^JOKE INDICATOR^^

You just need to get yourself a new set of wires. That will add 100 HP right there

Did someone say AB Quality Wires???

 

[VIPER BAZ UK]

Got mine just in time then......

 

[rt/10stew]

Well I guess my supercharger dream has just died
But at least my car is red so it really can't go much faster
