Default Paxton - GS Motorsports S/C Installed

Ladies and Gentlemen (I use that losely), ain't it pretty? Paxton's Novi 1200, w/ 5 to 6 lb.s boost, installed on my 2003 Hemi. We did the before dyno and it ran 256rwhp. I'm hoping for at least 350rwhp after install. When it is dynoed I'll post the results.

That's cool. Please keep us in touch with everything you feel is different. How it runs, driveability,what it sounds like, and how many Blightenings you smoke.[sm=smiley20.gif]

Very interested on how your truck runs. How does the engine management system work? Are there any adjustments necessary? Or is the kit complete? I have an 04 Hemi and waiting for availability to install the Paxton or a STS turbo. Waiting for other Dodge owners to show their dyno results before I buy. I know the KenneBell has already installed his supercharger on a 04 QC 4X4 Hemi. So many choice, now waiting for which one give the most power/reliability for the buck....

They're going to dyno today. I'll post it as soon as possible.

Good luck with the test. What are you expecting to put down?

What was the total price for the kit? Did you have it installed, or did you install the kit yourself? I've been waiting for this upgrade for months, now there are multiple choices, Paxton, KenneBell and STS turbo...go figure....

drtelco............I believe it was like $4100 for one and $4400 for the other one....satin finish or polished. That price was to the first 20 customers, then it increased to $200 more.

Not a bad price, waiting to see the performance figures. It's not as if I'm going to race my QC 4X4 Hemi, but I would like some additional power for towing. If I get the chance to blow the doors off a SS Silverado, then I guess that would be a bonus. I contacted a performance shop in SoCal that is doing an install. I will be able to get a test drive hopefully next week.
