I've raced Paxtons and Roe trucks at the track and haven't had any problem with either. Rolling starts 60-150 m.p.h. (or so)...same thing.
Prof's truck made 620 wheel with a Roe before his build way back when, so I am assuming that everyone that has ever installed one thinks their truck makes the same.
As with any build, n.a. or forced induction there are factors that will change the end result.
I think the big assumption here is that street-style forced induction engines just HAVE TO be more powerful than those that don't have f.i.. That isn't always the case.
With that said, my truck has been absolutely slaughtered at the track by turbo cars that have engines 1/4 the size of mine.
I don't consider my truck to be a drag vehicle but you likely get my point here...
In other words, "It depends"....

There isn't much in the way of lag on a turbo at the strip, presuming that you're launching at mid to upper RPM's. That spools the turbo up before launch, and allows the boost to come on almost instantly on a well designed system.

My truck was a heads/cam build NOT a Roe. It beat the paxton truck in every race because the paxton truck made its power at the TOP of the RPM band. In the lower rpms the paxton truck was very similar in power output to a stock truck, with the power coming on in the upper rpms.
The N/A truck made more torque, LOWER in the power band than the paxton truck. My cam was ground for maximum torque under the curve, not for peak hp.
It had NOTHING to do with traction. We both ran M&H drag radials. The paxton truck had CalTrac bars and mine DID NOT. Both trucks had 4.56 gears.
We raced at the 1/4 mile track, from a slow roll on the highway and from a 60 mph punch on the freeway. I won every race.
If it's engineered correctly, N/A power rules. :burnout:

Yes i defiently understand that and iv'e always preferred n/a for that reason but if F/I is setup correctly and quality parts installed their tough to beat.....I still have plenty of time before i decide to do anything big....So far i just love the look of the ROE but i would love to get a nice lope with a cam though.....

SO which way did you decide to go? Lets hear the details.....:dontknow:kyle's srt10 said:
I know please tell!!
I'm gathering up small parts now So far I have awaiting install:rock:
Mopar longtubes with catless mids
BBK Throttle body
Sending headers off for coating next week.
Also sending a factory intake to be fully ported and ceramic coated
This is what I have left to purchase:burnout:
Scremin Demon coils with wires
SCT tuner
Heads/camshaft
IMHO these trucks are DOGS stock The only difference in my red truck was the ported manifolds and full exhaust (no cats). It felt like a monster compared to the NR The NR is still stock with the exception of a catback and I can tell.. for now
