Thinking of SunRaKat ptII, I suggested selling the Roe and just going with a couple obvious tuner choices to install a Paxton.
As things go, he's lookin at me like I don't know what I'm talking about. Maybe I don't of course...
So, how about some feedback? Keep the Roe that's already on the car, and go $12k worth of upgrades aiming for the promised 925hp at the crank?
Or sell the Roe, and go with a Paxton intalled by a reputable tuner?

I don't even think I need any more information about the $12k in mods (unless it includes a huge shot of NOS), to call BS on that dealer.
925 at the crank is about 800 rwhp. The highest horsepower Roe cars out there right now are maybe 750 rwhp. That's 10 psi or more, water/meth, forged pistons, heads, cam, headers, exhaust, rockers, a killer tune, etc. I have not seen any Roe without NOS ever hit 800 rwhp. Ever.
Even if the dealer built him a new motor with forged pistons, rods, heads, cam, etc for $12k (which is unlikely) it is not probable that the car will hit 800 rwhp with the Roe without nitrous.
