Is this company for real?? Any Viper applications up and running yet or this just another pipe dream??
...They mention having a BMW V10 application as well* That would be wicked...and would predictably bring a newer V8 M3 application as well being they're the same motor essentially.. (minus 2 cyl's)
I've been talking to them a bit. While roots blowers look really cool on anything I'm just not a big fan of them on viper engines.
I am not a fan of any supercharger, but if they honestly can nestle a 6 Liter, 4 rotor screwcharger in there, it would be pretty badass. However, I am not sure if they can really get a good intercooler (at least 1500 HP worth) in there and stay under the stock hood. Lastly, at 1500 HP of air, you are probably be nearing 300-400 HP of parasitic drag on the motor. This is not so good for longevity or making power.

Thats true. I always say that SC's are great for bolt on and hit the road performance but if you really want the best possible power delivery you'll want a twin turbo setup.
Well there is a very large market (me included) that would love a simple, intercooled, bolt-on positive displacement blower that add 200 or so ponies.
In my view, if you want 1500hp there is only the TT but if you are looking for a nice boost in the fun factor that could be used as a daily, hit the 1/4 with great results and spend one or two days a year at the road course then there is a lot to be said for positive displacement.
Looks interesting with its low profile application. Price makes it more interesting yet. Viper might be a pipe dream listing.
It would be fun to add it to a Hemi Cherokee.
the site says they also make them for falconer v-12s has anyone ever seen one? i read about 20 years ago in motor trend (i think) when i was 13 about a falconer vette that was built to beat the viper it was called snake skinner and at the drag strip they launched it in 2nd and pretzeled the driveshaft. they just cut the back 2 cylinders off one engine and the front 2 off another and put them together.

Yeah, I heard that some TT setups are hot, Smoking Hot

Please report on your findings.

Any updates on this? This would be a hell of a lot easier to put together than a TT setup for a person not looking for a serious beast.
I'm not aware of any actual testing done on vipers with this kit. I've asked them for more info and have been pointed at GSM. I haven't been able to get any real info on the superchargers.

Sounds like a pipe dream to get a few people to shell out money and then run with it.
I can't really say one way or another but I do know that if i built a roots blower equipped viper that was intercooled I would definitely have pics and vids of it on the internet showing off the work.
