Why is paxton the only centrifugal blower in the market for vipers?

Why is it that Paxton is the only company in the Viper market ?
Vortech, outstanding quality units..
ATI ( dominates the market with their air to air units )
Where are they ??

Eaton / Roots style ?
Where is Magnuson ?
Kenny Bell ? ( I guess the Roe is based on this )

Just curious because I feel there is an untapped market here.

Mustang, Vette, and others have multiple options.
Vipers, if supercharging...
It's either Roe or Paxton...
?
Why ?
With a motor with lower compression these companies should be all over this..

I know turbocharging is THE way to go, but too expensive for some.. Myself included...
Unless STS comes up with a Viper unit....

I do understand that there are far fewer vipers than these mass produced other vehicles, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a market to modify, especially with stock cars being in the 500 hp range now...

cpe's kit is not as expensive as you think. It runs about the same as a supercharger package from other tuners... call him 630-878-3907

as far as kenne bell or whipple... the market is saturated with ROE, and there are a very limited number of people who buy that it would probably be their best interest to stay out of it entirly and save money on r&d, etc

could be the same with novi, but I am suprised that vortech or procharger havent come out with anything (to my knowledge)

For GenII's, the Roe unit is certainly a proven supercharging system. As for STS coming up with a turbo system, I'd read up on the SRT-10 Ram forum first. There's a whole bunch of people (myself included) with empty engine bays due to the tuning solution on the STS kit produced for it. Not saying that it can't work, just that it needs work.
