Supercharger ( 8lb.), MSD Fuel Pump Boost Control, 180 degree thermostat, front bumper fascia cooling duct, side sill insulation, unitrax half shaft safety loops, power steering vent tube. Drove it up to Green Cove Springs Monday. Picked the vehicle up and drove it back to Miami Thursday. Service: polite, respectful, prompt, and professional. Result: Uplift at front end at speed eliminated. Cabin temperature reduced by insulation and cooler operating temperature at highway speed due to duct. Acceleration - safe, effortless, instantaneous. (Mods prior to Roe mods: filters, smooth tubes, high flow cats that replaced damaged stock cats, 3" Corsa catback.) Dyno: 546.9/613.72. The torque is about 525 at 2000 RPM; increases to the peak of 613.72 at about 3500 RPM and stays above 560 until 5000 RPM. The torque does not drop below 500 until about 5650. I heard that there were reports of an UFO along I95 south of St Augustine last night.It was not me.

Aren't those numbers a big low? I would expect closer to 585 out of a 8psi package. I am hoping for over 600 with the water injection but maybe that is being too optimistic.

My car with the Roe 5 psi setup made 594. I would expect low to mid 6's out of the 8lb setup.

You had a very knowledgeable and I would go as far to say you had an expert tune your Roe to get that much power out of her.

The numbers I posted are rear wheel. They are consistent with the Gen II 8lb numbers shown in the dyno chart on the RoeRacing web site when you adjust for the fact that I do not have headers or roller rockers and the Roe 8lb example dyno chart vehicle had headers and roller rockers. My car was tuned by Sean. The important number is the 613 lbs of torque. I told Sean that my car is a daily driver and I wanted to be able to continue to drive it on a daily basis. I am very pleased with the results. There is really no reasonable way to have more power, maintain traction and keep it a daily driver. Besides, my Viper now feels more at home parked next to my modified Lightning. The superchargers exchange boost stories.

Unless you had significant mods before the 5lb application, 594 RWHP with the 5 lb application is not possible. It would mean an almost 50% increase over stock. Please post your mods prior to the installation of the 5lb setup and the before and after dyno charts. Thanks in advance for the data.
