?'s on the Roe SC

great info guys....... My wife (mrssrt10, also a new member today) is much interested in a S/C and we have been contimplaiting the Roe vs Paxton. hmmmm


Think the Roe is winning. ;)

I will ask for more input when the time is right. Thanks guys.
 
I also have a smartcard for water/meth activation and one without. I did hear one report from Dan Cragin of a pump failure with the water/meth. Of course the engine became toast given the more aggressive timing and no water/meth to compensate.

For those of you on the waiting list, what is the expected wait time?

I haven't even made it that far yet. That could be another factor; if I'm ready to buy, and I have to wait 6 months......let's just say I'm not very patient.
 
I was in his shop Friday and they were cranking out parts pretty darn fast. They looked like they were moving along pretty well, I'd still give Dave a call

You won't go wrong with either one.:rock:

A good install and tune is the key - being near an installer of the appropriate kit. (Not saying that you can't do it yourself.)

Sean is already looking at a bigger (boosting) pully system too. Legal Disclaimer - Obviously, upgrade the internals.

There are some of us who have waited 1.5 years and just now have them installed.
Worth the wait! :rock:

yup....... I actually have a Novi 1500 running 12psi on the Charger. And yes, Internals are "Key"............ <<<<< Experience typing. hehe
 
If the throttle body inlet housing can be re-designed a little smaller or shaped a little differently, I think an intercooler could fit between the TSTM and the manifold.

Questions:
- How much room (height) is available on the throttle body housing?
- How thin can the intercooler be made? 1.5"? 2"?

Then again, with the smaller footprint on the ROE, the intercooler would need to be thicker than normal to function properly. No?

Looking a second time, that ROE TB inlet section is REALLY close to the firewall. With some good torque, I'll bet it could touch.

I like how the ROE is "all go; not a lot of show", but I think it can be...umm....smoothed out a bit.
And some of that smoothing may result in a little more space.

Maybe these pics will help:

Looking from the front this is the left side of the intake:

Trying to look into the scoop note lack of much hood clearance:

Kevan, the whole plenum is designed around the location/placement of the SC inlet. You would have to redesign it and tune it. This is the part that took so long to develop by Sean. He found the A/F ratio to the engine was not distributed evenly, so he forced the issue, no pun intended.

So height too would be a player.

Mark my words, some of you have heard them before...the picture that Bone has posted above is the cutting edge of technology. It is the heart and soul of what the Roe Twin Screw does...add to this, his approach to injector spray patterns and you have the why of the potential and reliability of this approach to boosting the Viper engine.
 
I hear ya, guys. I'm just thinkin' out loud.
I can't wait to check out Prof's setup in-person at the end of the month.
 
The setup is sexy, high tech, and fun...hell it must be it, like Stinker's, it will easily run in the 14's.
 
I called Roe today. I am # 4 on the list now. :)

It will be put up or shut up time very soon. I better do some serious budget calcs this week. I really do not need to eat, do I? :)
