In your opinions is the Paxton S/C worth while?

Well they'll promise you heaven to get you to buy it, unfortunately their custom service after-wards especially if you have problems with it... seems to be run by this guy

Seriously wait for when the DIY TT kits come out, because Heffner IS class A . And Paolo's front Mount TT is also really nice for sure :thumb:

Will the TT kit work with our cast pistons?

Re: Paxton...

My two cents: Wait for some replies from people who at least own a Viper, if not one FI setup or another.

Re: Paxton...

RSI installed a Paxton S/C on my 2002 RT/10 more than a year ago. I have had no problems of any kind and the car is absolutely reliable. At the track, the power comes on very smooth and even through the torque curve. It doesn't make as much horsepower as the TT but I am not much into drag racing and having improved power that would not jump out from under me on the street or track was my primary objective. I do think the car runs a little hotter at low speed in traffic with the S/C (which is an issue in Houston in the summer) but even that has not been a problem.

Re: Paxton...

well I am too impatient I orderd a 2005 Copperhead from Bill Pemberton, they are installing the paxton and will deliver it to me in PA. I cant wait, should be a little quicker than my srt10 truck it has 478 hp and 524 ftlbs to the wheels and runs great but this car....should be fun.

I would have waited for the DIY, and yes you can use them with your stock motor, you just can run boost higher then 6 psi unless you forge it out

Re: Paxton...

Well I received the car Friday morning and I think it is awesome looking. It is the fastest thing Ive driven. How important is breaking it in? Does anyone know what 1/4 mile times I can expect? It just feels fast, even though I havent really ripped on it yet.

Re: Paxton...

Love my Paxton and Paxton customer service has been excellent. Mine has stock Paxton fuel and controls. The only issue is hitting the rev limiter too often.

Probably you ought to wait until you have a fucking Viper, before you go telling anyone what forced induction setup you "would have" waited for. Fuck. Pose much?

Isn't it funny how one can become an expert on a particular subject just by reading up on said subject on the internet.

Re: Paxton...

Any problems with throwing codes or anything like that? I assume you can use pump gas?
