Paxton Installed!!!
I had the Paxton Novi 2200 installed by Brenspeed last week and just wanted to share the results with everyone. They had the unit installed in one day and then we did they dyno tune the next. The end results are awesome as we hit 482RWHP at 6400rpm and 407RWTQ at 5400rpm. As you can imagine it's a completely new beast now. Hopefully you can view the attached dyno graph. Thanks!

RE: Paxton Installed!!!
I really like the look of the paxton over some of the twin screws. The saleen looks good, but the rest look gawdy.
How easy would it be to remove this supercharger? That's what really appeals to me about the centri's.

RE: Paxton Installed!!!
The work was done at Brenspeed. I made the treck from Maryland to Indiana to have the work done as I've always been please with his work and knowledge. My folks live about an hour from his shop so that made it a bit easier. As far as cost, I was very lucky in that I was able to buy the setup that Brent was running on his R&D car. He provided a new belt, injectors, plugs and boot pump but the blower was from his car. I was able to get it installed for $5000 which I thought was awesome. Since I got a decent price I had him add the deep pan for the auto trans as well.
Not sure how hard it would be to remove the supercharger. But I too agree with you...the centri's look awesome under the hood!
The best way to describe the power is someone sitting behind you pulling you back in your seat when you nail it. The power is amazing!!!! As far as breaking stuff that is why I went with the Paxton set-up as the power builds with rpm's. The 482 was high up in the rpm's which I do not do very often. Brent put together 2 tunes for me. The street tune will shift at 6000 which on the dyno graph is around 450 and then the race tune (shifts at 6500) which is what is in the graph I attached. I'm running the race tune now because my normal driving does not take full advantage of the power but is there if needed.
I believe I was running at 12PSI.
Thanks for the great feedback and questions! I've attached a pic of it sitting on the dyno before the run.
