Why Viper Supercharger 8K All others average 1K
Just AINT Right!

Take a good look under the viper hood... crossmembers in the way... reverse driven head unit [paxton]... returnless fuel system needs to be converted...

There are a ton of little things. And even then, do a search on the DIY Paxton on the forums... even THAT doesn't work that well as a DIY...

I trust my car to be worked on by 5 people. DLM is one of them, and I'm one of the others. That leaves 3...

Development cost, materials and profit, ask Mr. Roe. He is very straight forward with information.

Yeah, you just don't throw a SC on a Viper! You can't believe how tight of a fit it is!

1k for a supercharger for what car ?

 

[Russ M]

LoL,

What supercharger system did you see out there for 1k? For what car?

The cheapest kits out there are for mustangs, and you still pay 4-5k for a base kit.

Go to ebay and go to superchargers they range from $200 to $3000 mostly in the $1000 range.............

Just remember one thing, you get what you pay for.

I did pickup a tornado for my plymouth Breeze for under $15.00..

 

[PRVT JET]

I don't think that's a complete kit, that's the unit alone.

 

[Simms]

I paid 4k for a Kenne Bell on my Ram, so 7500 for a Roe is not unreasonable.

 

[GaryA]

$1000 for a complete system is unrealistic. I paid $2500 for a Paxton blower kit for my '94 F150 and the kit was minimimal (bracket, blower, crank pulley, and fuel pressure regulator).

Volume pricing brings the costs of most kits down. The cost for a DIY kit for the Viper will always be high due to low volume.

 

[V10 MOJO]

already been said; get what you pay for. and 8k isnt bad for what youre getting; especially considering what youre putting it on.

 

[FranciscoR.]

dont you get like at least a solid 40% increase with something like a Roe SC ?

 

[thebigsnake]

Elementary my dear Watson. Viper tax.
Hot chicas are expensive. A guy needs to rake it in wherever possible.

Just finishing up my Roe S/C. I also had a Vortec on Mustang (cost about $3500). I can tell you from experience that the 2 set-ups are totally different. All these S/C for the Viper are specially made and it will amaze you how much planning goes into making a unit that would fit in such a tight space.

I guess another way of looking at it is, supply and demand. Simple economics. Not too many Vipers out there, takes time and lots of money to develope. To make a profit, need to sell at higher price.

I asked the same question you did, until we had the S/C put on and we started the car yesterday. Good grace man...it is worth every penny just hearing the car roar.

Peace.

Well I went and got me one of them there Paxton Novi 2000.
Hell I was just Venting, I never said it wasn't worth it!
Jason at West Coast Vipers will be installing next week.
OOOYEAAA BABY!
