With any FI motor it is a good idea to let it warm up a bit before jumping on it. Doesn't have to be up to normal but at least up off the peg.

After reading through all these posts starting to wonder if I made the right choice of SC ( Roe) , although I did go with the tuner who was near me. In any case I have seen Before after dynos with Roe and there was a clear power incross across the board. Does anyone have the same for Paxton?
It would be nice to see Roe/ Paxton sided by side results

I understand that, but Paxton doesn't recommend even STARTING the engine below 27F unless it has been preheated.
In February, in Calgary, 27F is a nice day !!

The two plots are when I first unloaded the truck at Joes and after the tune with water/meth. Notice that my horsepower curve after Joe worked his magic continues to climb through redline.

Great numbers!
How much boost is that?
I will take either..Roe is more suited to my driving habits, althoughthe Paxton makes some serious power, and is pretty cool looking as well. IMO there are more people running a Paxton, therefore more experience with it. The Roe has not been out long enough for it to reach its full potential..Just my opinion..

So is this a change due to water/meth or Paxton?Dave T(BADVENM) said:

I think I figured it out. it looks like there is a clear increase in power all the way across to the redline. So why doesn't Roe have any top end power?nycstev said:

This is the stock 8psi of boost, which isnt reached til right before redline. I should add its also with the water/meth. Heres the boost only graph:

The lower numbers are when we dynoed the truck, no adjustments of any kind, right off the truck. All Joe did was add the VEC and tune...going from 629 rwhp to 672 rwhp. Again, he was able to tune it so the power never drops off. Not bad!!

I keep hearing that the Roe falls apart at the top end (twin screw characteristic supposedly). I haven't noticed it. But I only drive in the slow lane and never get out of the 14's. If it loses power on the top end...it is beyond where I drive it...not saying that it doesn't, I just have not experienced it...my seat of the pants dyno is kind of unreliable...the Depends get in the way of reliable data collection. My boost is 5.6 as indicated on the sheet...

Maybe we could charge a fee to get the results?

My reaction......about what people are saying here....the Roe will nail you to the back of the seat at the low RPMs....very torquey! The paxton pulls real hard up high and shifting at the redline keeping the Revs up it feels real strong!
I then got to ride in both trucks with the other owner driving it which was interesting....both loved each others trucks....here are vids of Ken driving Mickeys truck and Mickey driving kens truck.....I was shitting my pants!
