Saving up for Roe, got some questions...

Limit · May 13th, 2008, 06:59 PM

I plan on getting a S/C in the future on my 96 GTS... I'm wondering what are the essential upgrades for the Roe to function well on my Viper. I'm also wondering the non-essentials but future upgrades after the Supercharger. I don't plan to track this car and will be street-fun, hence why I'm going with the Roe. Cost isn't a huge concern, but for the people who have a Roe (or a Paxton) how much money, after the S/C / Installation, essential upgrades, and a decent tune, cost?

Thanks a lot in advance.. I tried searching but didn't really find anything that dealt with costs. Obviously Roe has their list of recommended upgrades.

Here is a wealth of information link

The link doesn't work. From what I hear, 1Tony1 is the man when it comes to Roe s/c's.

Nothing is required except the s/c. Nice add ons are exhaust, headers, roller rockers. You could be looking for some used headers to save some bucks. Also, you will need high flow cats or no cats when you do the Roe. You could be doing this stuff along while waiting to get the s/c or even some time after the s/c. Where are you located....maybe there is a good Roe installer near you. Currently I am doing the installed s/c at $300 over list price. Bang for the buck at around $7700 nothing beats it unless you want to deal with nitrous. AND it will kick ass at the autocross !!

Thanks for the replies guys. I live in Southern Wisconsin. So no tuners I know of except taking it down to Chicago or further. If anybody knows a reputable installer/tuner in the area, feel free to let me know

I bought it with Corsa exhaust, so I'm already set there. Around $8,000 isn't bad at all... I'm figuring about 10-12g's with some of the add-ons and a decent tune.. Is this fair?

Thanks again!

I am also driving thru WI on Sat. on my way to MN. If you want them, I could save you the shipping cost.

Are you picking up your stuff this Sat or Sun?

ARIZONA SRT-10 · May 13th, 2008, 10:07 PM

Mark.....don't sell your S/C short! You have to have high flow cats, and headers to really let it breath properly. It will really come alive with that addition. Had a Roe, Belangers, hight flow cats, 1.7 rockers, on my 94 and it was a monster. Good luck, have fun, and watch that torque!!

mbccenter · May 13th, 2008, 10:07 PM

M&M Performance headers and Hemi Auto works will do the install in Wisc.

Another vote for Mitch and the M&M headers.

Edit: Just looked at Mike's ad. Those TNT headers are good too.

Limit · May 14th, 2008, 12:56 PM

Where is Hemi Auotworks located?... I think I found a phone # 651-212-0893 but that area code is for Minnesota I believe.

Any ideas of the cost for everything to be installed? Does Hemi Autoworks do any kind of tuning?

Thanks again for the quick replies.

Mark

mbccenter · May 14th, 2008, 01:19 PM

That is his cell phone number. He is located by St. Croix Falls WI. They can do a basic tune.

Thanks guys!

looks like your threads been hijacked

after buying and installing a used kit, I strongly recommend buying yours new
there are a lot of parts in the kit that cannot be reused or that the prev. owner will not have/send with the kit

also, start adding some of the upgrades mentioned above before you buy your S/C
I had headers, catback, no cats, smooth tubes, K&N drop-in, light flywheel, and a new clutch - all before I bought my Roe
another good addition is roller rockers
the smooth tubes and K&Ns are fine, but if you are really planing on pushing the limits of the Roe, then get an intake
