I'm pretty sure this is old but who knows...Arrow & Viper Exchange are working on the "Sledgehammer" supercharger if this does not come to fruition...

Old rumor. The story is based on some development mules done for the Arrow System. Tim K recently stated that the Viper will remain NA.

Utilizing a positive displacement supercharger adds considerable weight to the front of the car requiring suspension changes and retuning of the suspension and a stronger tranny; driveshaft; differential and half shafts to meet OEM requirements for durability, reliability, and safety which are much higher than usually thought about or required by aftermarket tuners. It would also probably require a recertification of the supercharged engine which ain't cheap.

The Viper is intended as a road course car. NA is the best way to go for that use.

With the above said, the Arrow supercharger kit, when available, will be a great, well conceived and engineered kit which will be as close to OEM as you will be able to get.
