I ran my car once with an 8 LB/Vec2, 708, high flow cats, smooth tubes, K&Ns, on 93 octane on a HOT 90+ degree and humid day on Pilot Sports with high pressure and ran an 11.5 @ 130+ MPH (can't remember the MPH) spinning all down the track. I really feel the car could have went a high 10 on Pilots with the correct air pressure and some practice. I wanted to run it as I drive it and that was also the first time I ever ran the car on the quarter. Oh yes, the clutch was nearly worn out too, I replaced it a few weeks later and it was nearly dissolved-lol. Since, I have got WM installed and a more aggressive program and it runs better despite no dyno time or serious tuning.
Kenny, I hope you get your car back soon my friend and post some big numbers for us to all see and everyone is all happy again and moves on. It seems there is a 9 second limit for the Roes, but for this car as my daily driver, and it truly is the Roe is for me, I am happy with it and I hope to post a killer time next year on my new Extreme Drag radials I bought and have not mounted yet :-) If I hit off a mid 10, I will be very happy on drag radials, and a high 10 on Pilots, but not sure if I can hit that on the Pilots yet. Off to build some more computers for X-Mas and holiday sales. Happy Holidays to all to you and your families! Gary

Reason: Was smoking crack and typoed a word
I have the 10psi pulley on now. Was wondering if you are able to use that 12psi pulley and METH with pump gas? I assume you were using 101 or better to get those times? No NOS? Thanks for any feedback.
I was running pump gas with h20/methanol. The water/meth system doesn't require high octane fuel with it, at least the one I was using didn't. My car has never had nos.

Thanks for the reply. Guess I might get a 12psi pulley to hold me over for a while longer.
10.11 @ 138 MPH, 1.7xx 60 foot at the last Viper/Supra shootout. Track was way slippery. 505 CID, 12lb pulley, DW lower pulley, 93 octane with W/M, slicks and skinnies. I built the car for the customer and SW drove it. Easy 9 second pass with a good track.
hmmmm these are some pretty impressive times. So even with an 8lb pulley its possible to get into the 10's? Are many people using the fuel pump voltage booster with their 8lb pulleys or is not necessary until you get the 10lb pulley?
I drove my Viper to a 10.35 , 4 years ago at V-10 Nationals in Bowling Green ..... I had NO nitrous at the time, No water methanol.....I had minor head work, headers.
2 years ago I drove a 9.71 (click on link at bottom of avatar) with medium head work, nitrous, water methanol, headers, a different cam.
The car has more mods now, but I can't get down the track without breaking something, hopefully things will be different this year.
10.7 @ 130 ish (#5 pulley, on DRs)
10.5 @ 139 (#6.5 pulley, N20, Water Meth, Michellins)
10.08 @ 144 (#6.5 pulley, N20, Water Meth, DRs and Skinnies)
how did/is the motor holding up with the cast pistons? i've got an 02 and i'm debating on Roe or Paxton. Seems like santas gonna be nice to me this year but i'm still not sure what i'm going with. i don't want to go into the bottom end of the motor yet cause i still have a few years on the factory warranty. i thought the highest pulley you could run on a cremepuff was 5lb.
You can go up to 6.5lb if you add the water/methanol injection. Both the 5 and 6.5 setups can break cast pistons if you don't get the car tuned properly. Running the stock cards shipped with the Roe doesn't really get the job done, especially when running the water/methanol. I have 1.5 years and about 5,000 miles on my 6.5lb setup with my cast pistons.
I'm not one to step on the toes of Nostrochadus, the great Viper Alley predictor, but I would bet that you're going to see Roe only (no NOS) cars in the 9's in the very near future. It may take head/cam work along with the blower, but I think Roe cars will be in the 9's with no nitrous and no race fuel very very soon.
