Stirring the pot first thing ehhhhhhhhhhhh, must be warm back there:dontknow: or the snow blower is brokeProf said:Yes for most of us it would be a very quick install...but then there are those of us who are perfectionists....those people take six or eight weeks...not mentioning and names of course...

Carlwalski said:Thanks for everyone's input, it's much appreciated. After a few beers, some time at the "decision" table and doing a lot or research here and on the www, I have decided the best option for me and The BATRAM is Roe's set up. Reasons: He's awesome to deal with, backs his work up and will be there for me after the sale if he's needed. It makes the kind of power I am wanting and with a built engine, who's to say we can't make more than 700rwhp (that's the goal 700). The Paxton set up won't work with a RHD truck and to tell you the truth, I love the looks of the Roe's top mount system + it will give me that low down grunt of which I am a fan of.
JMBs set up is nice but after some thought, just way overkill for my 95% street driven brawler. I want to be able to use most if not all of my hp/T and not have to keep backing off and pedaling it (not each and every time all the way up the rpm range), the novelty will wear out fast and it's a little overkill for a street driven truck like mine, fine if it were mainly a track truck. I got an email from Sean @ Roe Racing and he said; "I have done what I wanted to do for testing and will be making the final decision (based on the numbers I needed to crunch) soon. The most probably possibility is we’ll go back to the previous design and parts, but change them up a bit." Only time will tell but it was and will be a safe set up IMO. Can't wait to get started on these performance mods.......:burnout: Just have to confirm with Sean that everything will work with my RHD set up, I can't see any issues though.
Thanks again guys!
Cheers, Carl
I can't speak for all Roe owners (lol) but no offence taken. I will be working with Sean to achieve some good numbers and build the engine up with forged and performance goodies. 700rwhp is achievable and for me, that is more than enough for the street. Anymore and it becomes too much, you bounce around, hop, pedaling heaps, no traction and basically "waste" all that power. Good for the track though. A well tuned 500rwhp truck would more than likely deal to a 800rwhp truck on the street as it can use all that 500rwhp @ WOT. This is a good amount without being overkill and even the figure I'm aiming for will be pushing it for traction in major way but I'll try to dial the suspension in afterwards. I'm happy with my choice as are many others, especially those who built their engines inside to out.505'sFastestViper. said:no offense but the roe is a lil weak for me but hey if 650 hp is all you want go for it just remember these things weigh a fuck load takes big hp to move them
Thanks mate, I'd be interested in hearing what you used in your engine build. Seeing some searches I see you were into the 13K mark. YIKES lol Did you build your rotating mass for the purpose of "strengthening it" or for both strengthening and performance (ie: changing from stock to aftermarket style specs)? Not sure exactly where I begin but I'm talking with Sean and have the ball rolling now.Prof said:Great Carl...we are here to help in any way we can.
