With ported heads it should get close to 770 or more I'd think. I have a 100hp (read that that would generate 140rwrhp) on the car, just can't imagine turning it on (it's a virgin). The Roe makes hp at such low revs I would think that a 700rwhp Roe would compare to a 850rwhp TT or Paxton setup since they don't do anything until a couple thousand revs after the Roe is making full boost.

Ted -
I beg to differ. put another way: prove it. Others have tried but none have succeeded. Your named tuner tried with TWO different customer cars to use Striker heads to make the big power... and twice he failed and blamed the heads. Those customers went elsewhere and removed the ROE and made MORE power w/o the ROE than with!
believe me, i'd love to see a ported-head ROE car that makes over 770. hell, i'd like to see one that makes over 750. In fact, breaking that 700 barrier on a ROE w/o NOS seems impossible to me so far. And I've built a couple to try!
When you add better flowing heads, the amount of boost (aka: backpressure) goes down. With a Paxton or a TT, you can compensate by turning that back up. With the ROE, you cannot. The blower is already spinning beyond capacity so all you get is heat with no more airflow.
Are you willing to spend 28k to become the fastest ROE car? someone else tried that and failed... So either back up your facts or quit keyboard racing; it is bad for the people who later use the SEARCH function because they may actually believe you!
